I'm not completely convinced that OO is good for this either -- makes for good reasoning about the system's structure, but I've had issues with this sort of thing and C++ in the past (Java suffers a bit less here). Won't bore you with the detail here; for the curious, http://frmb.org/rapp.html On language design, we were pondering a while back about an occam-ish scripting language for bolting systems together. It's currently incomplete, though there is a bit of a parser and execution engine in the pipeline. A description of what we were thinking about can be found at, http://frmb.org/oscript.html Cheers, -- Fred
