And how if functionality extended in a mini-language versus a general purpose language? Read the quote by Dominus above carefully before answering.

It seems to me that the hypothetical template author (and no doubt this story has happened many times in Perl's history) had no problem extending their mini-language. Their real issue was solving a problem that is already solved. "There is no shame in being self-taught, only in not trying to learn in the first place." -- Atrus, Myst: The Book of D'ni.	[reply]
