Much of the discussion on that latter was a bit over my head, so it's difficult for me to comment (which doesn't mean I'll have the sense to keep my mouth shut... =) ). My gut feeling is that I would really want to be able to compile MUD-code to native, but that anything beyond that would just be overkill for my own particular usage. >Perhaps I'm just being a bit pessimistic - many projects that are >"designed by committee" end up being more complex than they ought to be. How very true. =) We *do* have a rather elite committee working on this one, however (at least when compared with your average design committee).
