gollark: Well, it would work in JS, I think, since you can declare a variable and that's separate from assigning to it.
gollark: And which should be, say, not in the core library.
gollark: ```File Formats csv — CSV File Reading and Writing configparser — Configuration file parser netrc — netrc file processing xdrlib — Encode and decode XDR data plistlib — Generate and parse Mac OS X .plist files```More random stuff which probably nobody ever needs.
