    I have recently been fiddling around with some of the underlying workings of LavaStorm nodes and have become very curious about a few "hidden" parameters, namely the Code, Runner and MainMethod parameters which can be created in any LavaStorm node to make it perform certain actions that wouldn't otherwise be possible (e.g.: Having the node dynamically re-label itself after it has run).

    While trying to learn how to use this functionality I've noticed that there is completely no documentation of any kind, anywhere in LavaStorm, on the internet or anywhere on the programming language used in these parameters. I can't even seem to find out what the programming language is called. Is there any sources whatsoever on the programming language used in the MainMethod parameter? Even something as simple as the methods and attributes of the node object would be of great help - or an inspect function to print objects as anything but <PowerDictionary>.

    I'd greatly appreciate any help on this topic, however small it may be.

    You are correct, there is no published documentation for that. Those features are for making the nodes operate, and were never intended for public consumption.
    In addition, I'd be very careful developing any "production" graph(s) that use such features... Most (if not all) of it is going away in version 7.
