Cool and approachable way to play with vision
From 2 comments
Very cool! Vision systems can be so daunting to play around with, but this seems very approachable! There's several segmentation models listed there, do you plan to support…
gitgud on HNVery cool! We need to normalize powerful capabilities like this in simplified interpreted language form for the next generation of programmers.

New language loses ecosystem, libraries and tooling; a Python library would be better
From 2 comments
Why do you need a new language with new syntax to do this instead of making a Python library? ``` vision = Vision() (vision .load("./folder/") .search("coffee cup") .get(1)…
chpatrick on HNVisionScript goes beyond OpenCV in terms of utilities, providing models for use out of the box. That's great, but I have to agree with chpatrick that this seems like a cool…

Implicit state may be confusing
From 2 comments
Looks cool. I'm not sure about the implicit state in the language. It sort of worked for Hypercard, but not always. And can you iterate over multiple objects with the same label,…

How will functionality expand beyond OpenCV
From 1 comment
How do you plan to expand the functionality? I've been looking for a more modern alternative to OpenCV for a while - especially replacements some of the aged object tracking…

This is really cool. I wonder if there’s a way to extend Scratch to include functionality like this.
