Can you make “outl” more specific by doing something like “outl <linenumber> <expression>”?

How do you create something like Sprites?

Obscure isn't made to make visual projects on canvases, like Scratch.

so its just a version of python???since you can't draw any images sprites,or even rectangles and circles,Is their going to be updates to the program?

python, node.js, ruby, java etc.
not every non-canvas based programming language is “a version of python”. programming languages aren't made to make games or visual things 99% of the time, they are used for a whole load of different things.

Compared to most other programming languages in use today, this is an infant.

Capitalism is the issue. Replit got rid of their social features to make way for “AI features” to please investors, and now Glitch is being shut down so the parent company can save a few pennies.

One must appreciate the irony of a language named “Obscure” slowly fading into obscurity.

OP, seeing as the website is no longer functional due to Glitch shutting down their hosting services, and that Obscure was never really useful outside of its website as you couldn't really run it anywhere else, it might be best to either:

1. Shut this down, or
2. Build a runtime for it that can run somewhere else

Because the fact is, even if you move the website to another platform, it's hard to use a language that can only be run on it's own website (or, with some adaptation of the source code, in another website). You can't even make the website using it due to its interpreter- you always need a JS backend.

You could move the source code to GitHub, then use Render to host it, to get a free account you have to link github
