well its dangerous talking to Toast lol
FlipFlop, you are partly right but not completely, the adc protocol and like how for example the adch api works is stronger then any i ever seen before, and as i am not a real scripter and started my lua knowledge with modding pxscripts i can asure you that it is possible to make a more powerfull API then the px one, and yes it will need some "learning" on scripters side but has not to be that diff so scripts could be ported by a amature like me.
If well documented and has a place to gather info/doc this could work if offcourse hubdevs would be intrested, but why not you have your base as a dev and your hubowners could use all the goodies made.
We have the ADC specs in common to get clients into our hubs , why not a lua API spec that let all ADC hubs have the same bennefits.
