Hey!

So, how did you like my 100% serious April 1st post? I hope your hopes and dreams weren’t crushed when you realized which day it was posted.

This post is kinda like a follow-up to the first post on this blog. The section about future plans and what I’m working on turned out to be very short. Since that is probably the most (if not the only) thing you’re interested it, I feeled that this is the next topic I needed to address.

As always, if you have any questions about the topic or the form of these posts, please ask them on the Discord server! These posts will replace (most of) the Discord announcements, so I need to know if you don’t have any issues with them.

Advanced Skript language features

SkEditor mostly relied on the syntax highlighting, generators, and the simple refactoring tools. That’s all. For an average programming language, that would be pretty… basic. For Skript? Not so much. At least some time ago.

The revolutionary moment for the app was when the Analyzer was released, thanks to the work of Glicz. For many people, it’s probably the number one reason to use SkEditor. The 100% accurate error checking in-app, with the support of pretty much all the addons, was game-changing.

The problem? Analyzer is an addon itself. You don’t get it out-of-the-box after installing SkEditor. It also feels a bit alien. So, the first thing I can announce, is that the Analyzer will be built into the app, providing a much more consistent and improved overall experience.

Also, over a year ago we announced Skript Profiler, a new tool that let you analyze the runtime speed of your code. You didn’t hear any news about it since then - that’s because there were no news to share… Hovewer, the integration of the Analyzer into the app will certainly set the ground for the Skript Profiler. That’s all I can say about it for now, but I hope I can share more news about it soon!
