- lua as a pseudo-block coding language. I have ideas and plans —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 03:34, 10 November 2026 (UTC)

- context: I had an idea a while ago about taking a text-based programming language like Lua or Python and hiding it away behind blocks. the core concept is that the learner is still interacting with the text-based language, but they're doing so in a more understandable, abstract way (e.g at the start there would be a single
print( ___ )block or a singlefor i= ___, ___ doblock, and as they continue to learn the language these abstractions break apart into their individual tokens to hopefully allow the learner to better grasp how the language is composed (e.gprint( ___ )is accessing the variable "print" and executing it with some argument provided, rather than only knowing it just prints things) —aadenboy (talk|contribs) 03:55, 10 November 2026 (UTC)
