OOP in Rev...

[Mark Schonewille]

Viktoras,

The availability of OOP really doesn't affect the scope of  
applications. Nor does it affect the use of C++. You won't be able to  
use C++ anyway, you need to create externals for that, which you can  
do already. Last but not least, I can't think of any code more  
readable than Talk code.

.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
