  I get scared whenever someone mentions changing the scripting language
in POV-Ray. I have no programming language skills at all but have become
reasonably proficient with the POV-Ray scene description language because
it is so simple. I like the way that it uses descriptive keywords that
are intuitive enough that you don't have to be a programmer to use the
program. Every once in a while an over zealous person with a programming
background pops up and suggests that the language should become more C
oriented or should include object oriented programming or a host of other
scenarios. Truth is, if the POV-Team changed the basic language in POV-Ray,
they would likely lose a large amount of it's present user base. Many of
the people that use it do so because it does not take a programmers back-
ground to understand and use the program.
