gollark: Yes. I have no idea why you are showing people this.

gollark: > haskell is the only language that enforces separation between computation and effectsReally? Don't PureScript and probably other derivatives/similar languages do that?

gollark: I'm thinking it could include actual formatting, Unicode, headers, that sort of thing. As well as possibly decent autogen scripts allowing each sentence to be given its own header saying "Section 1, Clause 8" or something, and maybe even JS to dynamically edit the text a bit as you scroll.

gollark: The current potatOS privacy policy viewer thing is literally just `edit`, and mostly quite bad, so I was thinking it might be a good idea to have it open in the browser instead.

gollark: You're their QA team.
