Interesting read, thank you.

So there is also a plugin system in Lua waiting, it just needs someone to care for it. The S-lang plugin system will not go in mc itself since they prefer to get rid of S-lang alltogether, in favor of ncurses as screen library. This same author had a Python plugin system first, but scrapped it in favor of this S-lang plugin system.

And yes, I can imagine they are looking more for people doing maintenance instead of innovators. They do seem genuine nice guys though.




This sort of language seems a bit uncalled for to me
