    I agree on the point of linking it, which the HN thread linked before supposedly had a link to the blog post in question but it did not have any content. So thanks for sharing none…

    I've done similar, even to the point of a discord gateway integration that is very similar to the one Hermes ships with. I still use Hermes because it's not a problem I care about …

    In the case of the JS solution, it runs horribly and is highly inefficient.[0] For non-hot code, it is perfectly fine, but in this case, inside of a main loop like this it is a was…
