ja, I agree with you Howard. All those COMable extentions deserve to be extentions. No, I am talking about core language changes. imho, Kixtart classes would have to be builtin, and even regular expression, for speed and ease of use should probably be builtin into the langauge.

Back on topic, I know that on at least three seperate occasions, Ruud has hinted that .NET CLR (Common Language Runtime) support might be in the long-term cards for Kixtart. I would like to know just how serious he is taking this, or to his own mind, is this whole dotnet thing just the latest fad, to be pushed aside by the next big MS thingy ...
