That's a good point about the positional parameters. In general I'm trying to be as dumb and readable as possible, e.g. avoiding functional programming idioms and generally excessive cleverness, even at the expense of much more duplication. I tend to come and go on this project so it's more important for it to be familiar and very explicit to avoid the "Wait... I wrote this code a month ago and can't remember what it does" problem. YMMV

Fair enough haha. It's always something you can come back and clean up later if its warranted. Other than that it sounds like a really interesting concept. Have you written at all about it elsewhere?

Haven't written anything about the recent changes though.

Who knew good old billy could be so insightful when it came to software practices lmao. Personally I'd love to see a tutorial or something around this, considering I (along with a lot of newer developers) probably aren't overly familiar with RPC. Either way best of luck with the project :D
