gollark: Also, parser combinators are sorely needed.
gollark: What I need to do is make the escape bit handle `\uXXXX` sequences...
gollark: ```luafunction parseString(str) str = str:sub(2) local s = "" while str:sub(1,1) ~= "\"" do local next = str:sub(1,1) str = str:sub(2) assert(next ~= "\n", "Unclosed string") if next == "\\" then local escape = str:sub(1,1) str = str:sub(2) next = assert(decodeControls[next..escape], "Invalid escape character") end s = s .. next end return s, removeWhite(str:sub(2))end```
gollark: Okay, this is hand-rolled parsing code, I have no idea how it works.
gollark: *But* this is a bug in the JSON handling, which I should really fix *anyway*.
