Every instance has its own interpreter state which can be loaded with custom scripts.

The backend can also call Lua functions repeatedly using a timer, allowing users to implement time-based
functionality (such as evaluating a fixed mathematical function or outputting periodic updates).

| `timestamp()` | `print(timestamp())` | Returns the core timestamp for this iteration with millisecond resolution. This is not a performance timer, but intended for timeouting, etc |
| `thread(function)` | `thread(run_show)` | Run a function as a Lua thread (see below) |
| `sleep(number)` | `sleep(100)` | Suspend current thread for time specified in milliseconds |
+| `channels()` | `chans = channels()` | Fetch an array of all currently known channels on the instance. Note that this function only works properly after the configuration has been read completely, i.e. any time after startup |
While a channel handler executes, calling `input_value` for that channel returns the previous value.
The stored value is updated once the handler returns.
