Apparently OLC has been planned from the beginng, so why not Oasis? It's pretty much done and well featured, so why reinvent the wheel? Of course, if olc isn't planned, then all references may as well be removed so people don't keep bugging the developers about it ;) >I'd much rather see an embedded script interpreter for >a language such as ECMAscript/javascript, or even >(eww) perl or java. This is exactly why embedded script interpreter should NOT be in there - you don't like perl but would like javascript, I HATE javascript (and VBScript, and indeed any "script" language), but love perl. >Actually, I think it'd be really neat to have something of >an embedded lisp interpreter to handle special procedures >(or perhaps "pluggable interpreters" so implementors could > choose to embed whatever script interpreter or none if > they so choose): > >A key point being to use a full-featured programming language and >not an ad-hoc language like dgscript Feh, at that point just stick to the spec_proc stuff. The point is to create something easy for non-coder world builders to use. Personally, most scripting languages I've seen are not a whole lot easier to use then some full programming languages, so I've never really cared much for scripting. ____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB of email storage with Lycos Mail Plus!
