I wonder if Open Language will get some attention.. It was on the Road Map in 2014.
https://livecode.com/the-present-and-future-livecode/ >Open Language: With the core refactoring almost complete (LiveCode 7.0) we’ve started to turn our attention >to the final aspect of this project which is to open up the language for extension by anyone.

There was a long thread about it in Oct 2015 in the forums "What is Open Language." http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2015-October/220332.html Did Open Language just serve as the foundation for Widgets or was there a more substantial feature in the roadmap? >Theme / Widgets: Another important prototype we’ve invested time in is codenamed “Widgets”. Our aim is to >provide a means for any LiveCode developer to extend the control set. This builds on “Open Language” making >it possible for any developer to extend the language and the UI.

I thought it would something that would allow developers to extend the language using more english like form rather than just using a function with parameters. i.e. instead of using a call like this. AWSS3GetPresignedURL(pBucket,pObject,pExpires) You could extend the language allowing the parser to understand something like Get AWS3 PresignedURL for [tObject] in [tBucket] expiring in [tTime] [seconds|milliseconds|minutes] LiveCode has been gaining many features but the code gets less and less English like and less readable. It would be great if the big mystery behind the LiveCode 10 banner is a way to get back as much as possible to following the principle of human readable code.
