I've been following this thread for a while and have a question for Philippe
Are you suggesting using JS for the macros (afterall, it would be basically
a macro plugin)? While JS has the "advantage" of existing, there it wouldn't
be an ideal language for this specific application. Twyst's original idea
for the macros was a lot simpler and easier to understand for the
"non-programmer". I grew up in the age of COBOL, BASIC, and LOGO.. they had
a certian simplicity that today's languages lack (including JS)
On the upside, it would be a novel non-web based use for what's basically a
web script.
