I’ve been working on SAMA, a project around programmable chat.

The idea is that instead of chat being a fixed message stream, SAMA makes chat itself programmable — you can define custom hooks, e.g. for filtering bad words, change message tone etc - all available via Chat app UI.

Think of it like giving developers a way to treat chat as code.

I’m curious how the HN community sees this concept: is programmable chat useful or just complexity?

Would really appreciate feedback from folks here — especially on what you’d want (or not want) from a programmable chat system.

What's wrong with javascript?

There is also a roadmap doc https://github.com/SAMA-Communications/sama-server/blob/main...

nothing wrong, just a different vision I guess

what's wrong with react?

there are open PRs in both server and client, that's gonna be first release around the corner I guess

not too fast, but soon it will work this way
