gollark: The issue is that Warp has quite a neat combinator-based HTTP handling mechanism like you might use in, say, Haskell, and this generates horrible type errors if you do things wrong.

gollark: `.and_then` instead of `.map`.

gollark: On the plus side, the fix is actually quite easy.

gollark: I like Warp's design, but OH POTATO OS THE TYPE ERRORS.

gollark: I mean, what does any of this mean?!?!?!
