Re: [Virtools] JavaScript BB



This is one of my big beefs with Nemo (one of the few BTW). Don't get me
wrong, I think it's great, but to have a scripting language to augment the
current bulding block approach would be great. I find it inefficient, when
you are trying to come up with a logic routine that's remotely complicated
(I'm used to programming in C++).

I think this would be a great thing to have in Nemo.

My two cents anyway.
