Better Custom Blocks THE SECOND SUGGESTION [READ BEFORE REPLYING]
Q: Is this a duplicate?
A: No. That topic (which I just bumped) is NOT the same as this topic. That topic is asking for a way to make separate custom reporters and booleans, without the use of creating a block. This suggestion is talking about… Well, read to find out.
Introduction
This suggestion is asking for a way to put reporters INSIDE booleans and other reporters and vice versa. With the current setting, attempting to do this will only create another slot.
Why do I want this?
There are a number of reasons I want this. Here are some, just to name a few.
1: Custom Logic Gates
What we want:
The result:
2: Trans-Programming Language Blocks (OK this is probably just me)
What we want:
The result:
The possibilities are just endless with this.
“No support, how are you supposed to toggle it?”
Simple. If you're editing text and you hit the reporter/boolean button, it'll be placed where the cursor is. If not, it'll place it normally.
Edit: I had to change the title so it could be distinguished.

<> xor <>::custom boolean

2: Trans-Programming Language Blocks (OK this is probably just me)
What we want:
input []::custom reporter
The result:
(input::custom) []::stack custom

Is it something like this?
define block with strange input <<> xor <>::custom>
...
block with strange input <xor:a> <xor:b> {
} xor: <> :: customLast edited by nembence (Oct. 8, 2025 22:16:10)

Then I don't know what you wantIs it something like this?Not the second one.define block with strange input <<> xor <>::custom>
...block with strange input <xor:a> <xor:b> {
} xor: <> :: custom
Custom block inputs are usually set outside of the custom block, but if the input also has its own inputs then it needs to send them out of the custom block before it can be set from the outside

define block using the new (input [nested input]) featureWhere does the result of the join block go then?
say (input (join [Hello] (answer)::operators))

So do you mean if you have
you can change it into
define cool block (text or number)
you can change it into
define cool block <text or number \(but it's now a boolean!\)>?
