I build web infrastructure and do much better with interpreted languages then lower level ones. I know it's easy to request and harder to implement so I hope I'm not just another off the wall request to add to the pile.

I would love to see a simple rest api that simply out puts the active value of a memory address currently in your list. There's use cases in this for building personal use externals. This way I don't have to go find memory offsets and try to build an executable. I have values I can read and thats mostly all I need. Then I can spin something up in python (or whatever) to do xyz just by grabbing those active values.

The alternative is "git gud" but this stuff is not trival (at times) and if I can avoid adding more time to my work week the better.

Have you tried Lua? All the cool kids are doing it.

As TheyCallMeTim13 mentioned, use Lua. you can interact with CE entirely with it. If you want to allow external access, you can use LuaSocket to expose your own setup to another application via a socket setup. As you mentioned, a REST API you could setup one, with LuaSocket. (While it would take a little bit of work to make, it is possible.)
