Cool. Thanks!

Does random use a fixed seed? When I repeatedly run a lil script in lilt, random[range 15] returns 4 every time.

Somehow I missed the grid.widths value in the grid interface. Thanks!

Is it possible to hide a column in a grid? I find myself having to use a lot of hidden grids and then selecting a subset of the columns into a visible grid. Which is fine enough, but I wonder if I'm misunderstanding the scope of variables or features of grids and maybe there's a way to not do this.

It does. I mostly just got tired of reloading my deck manually to debug.

Is there a way to edit the code in a module, or create a new module,  WITHIN Decker? I can open the .deck in VSCode, but having a window directly in Decker would be even better.

Alternatively, can I use lilt to interact with Modules-as-Modules, rather than just as lil code?

My first thought is that I’m going to lose a lot of weekends doing very cool stuff with this. Thank you!

As the user on Lobste.rs who prompted this, my take is that Decker is one or more of a number of things, and all of those are awesome and equally valid, and I hope my comment wasn’t considered criticism or a complaint. I don’t think it can be ALL of these things, though.

Is it:

A programming language and framework for building apps?

A cross platform web/desktop tool with full compatibility?

A set of intentional restrictions for creativity?

A framework that guarantees the safety of user data against all malicious actors?

Just a fun toy that you are building because it is awesome and fun?

For me, adding the ability to make HTTP requests would multiply the utility of Decker tenfold, but I don’t think you can do that and guarantee that nobody will ever create a malicious deck. On the other hand, essentially every other attack vector is already available to a wannabe attacker. 
On the third hand, my hope to use Decker to write a baseball scoreboard might be missing the point as much as hoping to write a AAA game in Pico-8 would be.
