Workshop in programming language like?

Would it be possible to import and export a ‘script’ instead of having so much UI? I know this would only work for PC, but would make it so much easier.

Yep, it definitely possible. When you copy a rule, you can see it’s structure in your buffer. So, it is possible to create some sort of translator from pseudo-code (for example), probably smth like this:

init global vars (global) {
    if { //empty, bc it's just init
    }//it becomes condition in Workshop

    then { //and this becomes actions inside rule "init global vars"
            gl.A = 0;
            gl.S = vector(43.3, 23.13, -3.45);
     }
}

And it’s translates into workshop-friendly view.

Actually, when the workshop was just relesed, one man started to create this thing. You should check his topic:

Yes since the latest patch you can copy/paste code. Raw, it looks like this:

rule("# Game STARTED - Choose Junkrat")
{
	event
	{
		Ongoing - Global;
	}

	conditions
	{
		Is Game In Progress == True;
		Global Variable(X) == 0;
	}

	actions
	{
		Set Player Variable(Random Value In Array(All Players(All Teams)), A,     True);
		Set Global Variable(X, 1);
		Stop All Damage Modifications;
		Wait(0.250, Ignore Condition);
		Start Damage Modification(Filtered Array(All Players(All Teams),     Compare(Hero Of(Current Array Element), !=, Hero(Junkrat))),
			Filtered Array(All Players(All Teams), Compare(Hero Of(Current Array     Element), !=, Hero(Junkrat))), 0, Receivers and Damagers);
	}
}
