oh my GOD
tired: returning multiple values from a function via data structures
wired: returning a comma-separated string, then using a regex to unpack it in the code performing the call
@fuzzface Lua, actually, so they actually had a choice >:(
@danielhglus Holy shit content warning on that gore plz.
@danielhglus Even simpler would be to return an array, and use list() to unpack it; but what is the issue with data structures that makes regex seem like a good solution?
@danielhglus I'm assuming that objects classify as data structures in this context, because that would be the logical return to make
@MarkBaker I think regex is simply not a good solution here
@danielhglus all written in awk of course.
