What a
"creative" use of #lst allows, if it is really an efficient, light
routine, is to build named variables and arrays of named variables into
one
page; I can't imagine what a good programmer
could do with such a
powerful
tool. I'm, as you can imagine, far from a
good programmer, nevertheless I
built easily routines for unbeliavable results. Perhaps, coming back to
the
topic..... a good programmer would disrupt
wikipedia using #lst? :-)
Using #lst to implement variables in wikitext sounds like a terrible
hack, similar to how using {{padleft:}} to implement string functions
in wikitext is a terrible hack.
Thanks Roan, your statement sound very alarming for me; I'll open a specific
thread about into wikisource-l quoting this talk. I'm doing any efford to
avoid server/history overload, since I know that I am using a free service
(I just fixed {{loop}} template to optimize it into it.source, at my
best...) and if you are right, I've to change deeply my approach to #lst.
