gollark: That way programs can ship with builtin configuration but it's still editable.
gollark: You could have a comment which the program runner thing detects. Maybe as a fallback if there's no custom metadata?
gollark: ```lua--[[noddle_meta/1.0{ icon = "icon here", fullscreen = true}]]print "this is program"```would be my suggestion for how to embed such data within the program.
gollark: Oh, you want users to be able to edit the icons and stuff.
gollark: They can still do that.
