A solution here may be to pick up an earlier scripting language that has been abandoned, but is nevertheless useful. I'm specifically thinking of Perl4, but I imagine that TCL, the lisps, the BASICs and other older "Toy" languages may yield up a useful base for an OS-specific scripting language. > This is an interesting concept.
