I hate waiting ages for a new version of roblox, I wish I could add my own features o.e Do you think open-source ROBLOX is good or not? |

| No because then everyone in this forum could make a much better version of roblox and they'd lose money. |

@Arceus - So we're reliant on the current ROBLOX to make a better ROBLOX? Right...

| Absolutely right. I would unlock a lot of functions and add some very, very, very basic things such as just changing BrickColors to Color3 properties for more freedom. |

| It's a great idea, but we all know that what you ask will never happen. |

They won't let it happen. Come on guys, it's a business.
You think Lays is gonna open source their chips recipe? You think coca cola is gonna do that? Microsoft then?
No.
Because why??
Money. |

Well, it'd be nice, but I'm sure a few things would quickly become apparent:
1) ROBLOX has a _lot_ of security gaps, hidden, just because no one's found them yet. 2) ROBLOX doesn't have enough skilled programmers sitting around waiting to submit fixes, changes, and optimizations to it. 3) Most fixes / submissions would probably be horrible code, or just plain stupid.
A great idea would to have Sorcus release some core scripts (or just allow us to submit fixes to his core scripts) on github or something, so we can actually improve them. I know there's an issue with his ringbuffer in the chat script, because I rewote it, and I also know adding whisper chat is quite easy, as well as several other features and fixes.
Also, there _are_ competent scripters in Lua on ROBLOX, and the core scripts can already be read, so ROBLOX isn't exactly losing anything. Why can't those things be on github? |

^Agreed.
I'd also like to use a bug-free CoreGui, but roblox forces us to use their one. |

You can see the CoreScript code. It's not hidden or anything. |

I actually like Quenty's idea
But on one condition: Only a select few will have access to the code
For example: Quenty ArceusInator SN0X Tenal Prehistoricman etc...
The users will need to have a highly advanced knowledge of RBX.Lua and be trusted enough to not release the code to other users
With the help of those users, Roblox's future will look good |

| Why not EVERYBODY can see the code so EVERYBODY can see the flaws and fix them themselves? |

Because 99.5% of Robloxians can't even find what is causing an error, let alone fix it Even the .5% would still have some trouble with a lot of stuff, sometimes probably not even being able to fix it |

| I bet they rarely build/script or they use free models, or they are lazy. |

| Just because they won't know the error, doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to lookk. |

@tbl To be honest, popin would be the only one who would actually do something useful with it. |
