[Virtools] JavaScript BB


Hello users,

My FFT BB having had some modest success, I am thinking about writing 
a JavaScript BB.

In short, the idea is to add langage scripting to N__o, both to 
simplify complex operation writing, and to allow for classical 
langage programmers (like me) to write programs for N__o.

The features would be:
- evaluation of JavaScript expressions (like the current 'calculator')
- importing and evaluation of JavaScript files (arbitrarily complex)
- sharing of runtime context (functions, objects, variables) between BBs
- access to the main general concepts of N__o (objects, attributes, 
messages, level, etc..)
- mapping of the BB inputs, outputs, pIns, pOuts into JavaScript.

Note that JavaScript is a personnal choice among other langages, that 
even though Internet Browsers also have JavaScript interpretors, 
JavaScript in itself has nothing to do with HTML, but is an 
object-oriented interpreted and compiled langage, that is quite easy 
to learn, very widespread, and powerful enough to allow for complex 
software implementation.

My questions:
Would you be interested by such JavaScript BB ?
Any special wish ?
Other comments ?

Thank you for your input,


	Antoine
