How about this helpful suggestion and I ask that you read it through:

The college education method that my professors used:
they treated pascal and C++ as programming languages, with knowledge that the best way for the student to learn was to give them working example.
They gave us printouts, and we typed in the sample code.
The professor explained it as the information going from the eyes to the brain and out the fingers. Even the separation of them writing code on the blackboard and the students tanscribing it to a notebook and then typing it into the computers in the lab led to effective learning of that language.

But the main issue of posting code to people who want to learn the seemingly ever-changing nature of graalscript, is that they can copy and paste without doing work.

So how about:
-requiring code to be posted in the code blocks
-having that code be fed through a postscript or other text to image program
-instead of posting code, an image of the text is posted,
requiring the user to retype the block of code.

It would make this scripting part of the forums a lot more user friendly
and a lot more helpful, and as people would be leanring from typing in examples (a method nationally known colleges use) then there may even be fewer repetitive questions for the experts to answer time and again.

Please consider this ...
