hi, is it possible for snap to integrate a javascript compiler for to accelerate the viewing of projects like turbowarp for scratch?

jmoenig commented 3 years ago

Snap has the same turbo mode as Scratch has. Scratch also has an experimental JIT JavaScript compiler for higher-order-functions. The context menu of the MAP/KEEP/COMBINE blocks lets you "compile" them. BUT, for things to become really fast use Snap's hyperblocks, i.e. the ability to apply most reporters not just to scalars, but also to vectors (lists of values), matrices (tables - lists of lists) and multi-dimensional data structures.
