yes, I do know what you are suggesting.
and it won't happen, ever, hopefully.

what should happen, ruud should add module support into kixtart in similar way as perl has it's modules. so, you wouldn't need to deploy anything, just say "feature needed" and it would be loaded.
this way the core would remain small.

on the other hand, these small additions won't bloat the executable as much as, for an example, the tokenization engine.
or such module plugin support.
imho.

What a great idea, why has no-one suggested this before!?

We could put the code into say, I dunno, a "library" and then dynamically link in the code only when we need it. If the library could register it's APIs and properties so that version control could be used and the library functions reused reliably among many different unrelated projects that would save an immense amount of time and effort for everyone.

Of course the interfaces / APIs could then be used for automating the use of the library objects via scripting if a standard (common) object model was defined and the API interfaces are designed to support basic data types.

"COM", "Automation", "DLL"?

Nah, forget it - it'll never happen.
