This is very cool. What was your inspiration for this?

Hi! It's mainly a summary of me trying to learn game dev and reflection on current tools, also Scratch kinda inspired the "blocky declarative" style because we hope kids can make games with kaboom with "real code" just after they completed learning Scratch. Also a lot of softwares I like e.g love2d, PICO8, sokol, Amulet, Klik & Play
Klik n Play was such a fascinating programming model. I can't think of many places with... Example-based programming? It was such a curious paradigm, in retrospect.
hh I love the sounding of "example-based programming"! i would also add a "spreadsheet-based programming"
They didn’t create it, this was made by the team at repl.it. In case a mod sees this, it would be great to be able to provide a reason for flagging a submission

Edit: assumptions bad

@slmjkdbtl works at Replit and he designed and lead this project :)
Ah my mistake! Awesome to see. Thanks for all the great work
