Wrong thread but...

I think the program could do with less programming related features and
should concentrate more on object oriented features like more patterns,
more object types, and more and better special effects. If you had these
already present in the program you wouldn't need all of the special
programming related features to try to get the program to do what you
want it to.  After all POV-Ray is about making pretty pictures and is
not a play toy for programmers. Before firing off a heated response
think about what I have said.
