There is nothing to stop the embedding of an existing OO language ( like 
Ruby ) into the POV GUI with POV libraries or bindings to some form of POV 
API. This meta scripting language could drive the GUI and external 
utilities as well as be embedded into the POV SDL files.

You could, with a complete library, use Ruby right now as an OO meta 
language for generating POV code.
