  1. Maybe a good angle would be to have an article or two talking about why Torquescript is great and what separates it from other choices such as LUA, C#, etc? In my (admittedly limited) experience, people tend to be way more amenable to learning a new language, tool, etc if there is good justification and clear advantages for doing so. From my time keeping an eye on Godot, there was initially a lot of hostility about GDScript - a lot of newcomers were puzzled as to why a modern engine focused on lightweight and mobile would support a funky interpreted language with high overhead, especially one for which they had to learn new syntax. But, as it turns out, there's not just comprehensive documentation on Godot's site, but GDScript's introductory page (here: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.0/getting_started/scripting/gdscript/gdscript_basics.html ) lays out why they chose to implement it, as well as key advantages it offers. I wouldn't discount how important having that sort of thing is in getting people on board with using Torquescript.
  2. Hi, long time lurker here. I registered to weigh in here because frankly seeing the corrosive impact Duion has had on these forums over the last few years leaves me incredibly sad and disheartened. It's honestly unbelievable how toxic and entitled you behave towards the few devs who are currently working on the engine. In their spare time. For free. The idea that the devs should adhere to your particular vision of what Torque should be in the name of a 'democratic' approach is mind-bogglingly selfish; and the fact you choose straight-up belligerence when you don't get your way, rather than either choosing to contribute or just forking the engine for your own needs doesn't just reflect poorly on yourself - you're dragging the whole public perception of Torque down. I can't fathom the amount of people who must browse the forums, see you throwing a multi-year pissfit, and decide to pass on being a part of the community. Torque is a brilliant and hugely underrated engine, and the fact you expend so much energy bashing the approach of its developers helps nobody. If you actually cared about the engine's development instead of insisting the entire community up sticks from Discord because Daddy Stallman doesn't like it, you would see that there's back-and-forth work on hammering out 4.0 literally every night. In short, your behaviour is appalling and I'm really surprised the mods haven't chosen just to ban you and move on.
