That was my original concern but this thread seems to a mutated as 
threads do.
Any opposition to OOP seems to arouse a lot of feeling.

Yes, I'm now told that a new scripting language is decades away so I suppose
my major concern is about 20 years or so too early. What language or 
with what
"philosophy" Pov-Ray is coded in is of only minor concern, if the end

usable to me.

It's all been very interesting, though.
