I came into this thread after the facts and tried hard to make the original suggestion as a part of the larger POV in favor of high-level languages. Also, I don't want to flame and rather keep the discussion out of free attacks against the current team of developers. I took part of this thread only because I've already been faced to pacman limitations in its current form. -- Nicolas Sebrecht
