  What is, in your opinion, a "full featured programming language"?
  The SDL is turing-complete.

  Exactly my point. Too tedious to write?

  Besides, you conveniently skipped the hard parts of the code, for
example the conditional inside the sphere.

  What good does it do to simply put the code into quotation marks and
add some extra junk around them? That doesn't help the user nor the
program trying to interpret the code (it simply gets the code as a
bunch of strings which it has to parse and interpret anyways, without
the help of any XML parser).

  Besides the point. It was just an abstract example. Set the initial
values to 1 if you want to feel better about it. ;)
