What is "Open Language"?

[JB]

If you do get Open Language what will it do to the
speed?  They said LC8 would be good because it
will make it easier for developers to write code in
LC which needed to be and external before.

Then after releasing it they said it is slower to use
than a external written in C.

I would prefer better lessons and examples to write
externals if they are faster and the same goes for
Open Language.

Most folks just wanting to get the job done will continue with functions and commands. Some interesting syntax might be developed for fun but these are pluggable modules which aren’t delivered with the core product unless they are wanted there.
