I think there are many possible applications, here are two that sound interesting to me (but my opinion really doesn't and shouldn't count):
* Abstract Wikipedia wiki functions <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Function_model>: Snap! seems like an easy way for more people to get involved * Lua templates <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lua>: generating the lua code could open this up to more people On Mon, May 23, 2022 at 2:43 PM <[email protected]> wrote: > At the Wikimedia Hackathon 2022 that ended yesterday I have showed a > program in the Showcase that can convert blocks from > visual-programming-language Snap! to source code.
