Programming LiveCode with LiveCode

There have been hints that in the near future it will be
possible to program LiveCode with LiveCode like you
write scripts for your stacks.

Now that foundation has been added they have been
updating LiveCode and it sounds like they are using
Grand Central Dispatch for some of the graphics.

There are many powerful tools in foundation.  I am not
sure how difficult it would be but it would be a great if
instead of making a few really good changes to LiveCode
with foundation and GCD etc that they opened the doors
so anyone could access the tools in foundation from the
script level of LiveCode without writing an external.  If
this could be done you might even be able to allow scripts
to include the Swift programming language.

That would make LiveCode advance faster because a lot
of people would be writing code that would improve LiiveCode
and sharing it.  This would open the doors for amazing things
at a rapid pace with a true community involvement in writing
code for the changes.
