I don't mean to oversimplify this, which is why I'm batting it around on a forum with a lot of smart people. But clearly it could be done. Whether it *should* be done is, of course, a question for debate, and I accept this.
My objection this idea is that it's going in the opposite direction to what I'd like to see. In my opinion, having to embed one programming language inside another leads to ugly code.
