Because the output file will be parsed, of course. For example, I could add structs to Lua and then the input could use structs, and the output would parse it and make it normal Lua.
Imagine vJASS for Lua. Now image that you could simply get the code instead of having to import it. It will take a text file, parse it, and return a new text file. You can also turn on an option to just replace the text in the input file with the output text instead of making a new file. Because Lua is such a widely used language, you can then put this output into any game such as WoW Addons, GMod, etx c.
I will probably make something like that eventually, but I'm mainly doing this for myself and for experience in the language. JAVA parsing is said to be exquisite, and I eventually plan to extend Lua.
Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
