 This is a Java library you can write scripts for to support an api with conversational language models
 
-The scripts are written in Groovy because it's powerful, but I'm thinking about other languages like Lua (which has not many features but I think some can be added)
-
-Right now there is no sandboxing so every script has access to what this library has access
-
-Don't take everything I wrote here for granted because I still have to think about how to make this stuff

+okay so three things:
+1. the chat, thread, conversation itself
+2. the network thing
+3. and something to script all that?
+
+the chat I think it may be just messages, like user assistant and so on with an optional system prompt
+however that may cause issues with tool models, but let's ignore that for now
+oh yeah and something to convert the Chat into something the api accepts, but I think that may be just a function
+
+now about requests
+I think that's consistent so get post etc. requests
+with text or json request body
+that responds with a text or json body
+but how?
+I think a DIY interface is the way since each (or every?) platform has a different networking implementation
+we could provide a reference implementation, but I don't know
+
+okay now about scripting
+the language that scripts are written in is Groovy
+which may be too powerful to be called a scripting language but whatever
+so:
+- we need to label scripts somehow so a record (actually an object because I want to be compatible) with name, author, version is enough
+  and other metadata like streaming support or billing? billing later and TODO streaming should be also a setting
+- permissions... that for later, including sandboxing
+- settings, oh I just came up a name "source"
+  but as for settings maybe just a list of label, TODO type (slider, text, choice list etc.) and value range (how with various types is for later)
+- and how it actually works, like when a message is sent we just call a function with the chat object.
+  it should return a ChatResponse which TODO has something to stream from and some other metadata?
+
+choice of language
+lua:
+ I considered Lua, but I don't know, it may be simpler to beginners (not to me though) but it's not as powerful and like javascript messy, inconsistent, vague etc.
+ actually I just found out Lua has coroutines, so maybe I was wrong
+ and a few more dependencies won't hurt
+other languages:
+ I need a runtime that's maintained and up to date with the language, that doesn't rely on native libraries, and that wouldn't take much storage
+here's what claude recommended to consider: (I only edited the headers)
