Hey paniq, based on your username I'm guessing that you are the same paniq mentioned on the duangle website and thus the creator of this intriguing little language! Scopes has certainly caught my interest in the short time I've looked at it this evening, but the documentation seems a bit sparse at the moment. I do have your screencasts queued up on YouTube and the repository cloned and ready to build, but if you have any thoughts you want to share about how you've used the language, what it's good for, the direction you want to take it, if you want community contributions I would love to hear them!

Hi, glad to hear you like it. I'm using Scopes to build a game engine called Tukan, which is for an ambitious game called Nowhere that is in development hell for four years. :-) I don't really know what I want from the community to be honest. I guess I just want to collect first impressions, see what people like, what they struggle with, what things they need and what ideas they come up with.

I do think that Scopes is uniquely suited for monolithic multimedia applications like games and media authoring and that would be the direction I'd like to see it go. But there's technically no reason why it couldn't go another way.
