I've seen this awnser so often to similar questions, but I'm wondering, 
why does it work for other programming/scripting languages. I what way is 
POV-Ray different. I can imagine that it would be complex to add a new 
ray-traceable object through a module, but how about other stuff like, for 
example a database interface.
