I had this idea too! I was gonna pitch it to you but I let it slip from my memory. I think even the name I made up might’ve been the same as yours (Hopscript).
Yes, that would be amazing! Hopscript could be a dialect of Python, or maybe JS – a high level language – for simplicity and easy syntax among new coders. Code could also be automated much easier with a higher level language to work with and compile into.
I’ve tried making a programming language parser once in Python. It’s pretty fun and hard at the same time.
I don’t maintain the standalone shortcut anymore, but you might still be able to find a download link for “v1.6.2 final” on this topic somewhere. Just know I won’t add any features or fix any bugs with it
