ChatGPT for LC scripting - and ports

[Heriberto Torrado]

My pleasure!

I’ve been thinking that, with the rise of AI, it’s now possible to 
create thousands of programs in C/C++ or Java for Livecode.

Last month, just out of curiosity, I built a customer management program 
in C with a TUI designed in ncurses and a SQLite database. It works 
wonderfully and has the look and feel of software from the 1980s.

This opens up a huge opportunity for LiveCode: people who aren’t experts 
in C++ or LiveCode Builder can now create countless LiveCode plugins, 
utilities, and extensions — and even publish them in the LiveCode Store.

With a bit of collaboration, we could even port LiveCode Server 
Community Edition (I honestly think is much better than Python for 
scripting) to previously unsupported platforms, like ARM.

The future looks truly exciting for our beloved language!
