Any reason why "goto" is implemented in a scripting language?

My brain is cracking up thinking about using goto in an "eval"...

Is there a way to make DScript work with Mozilla 1.0?

The advantage of using this browser is that you don't have to worry about disabling JScript in Internet Explorer and then having the rest of Windows hiccuping. ;)

DScript looks very impressive, though!

Thanks,

Probably not without rewriting Mozilla.

As I am able to isolate what those undocumented features are, I implement them (for example, Outlook Express now works with DMDScript). It's just that there seems to be endless quirky undocumented behaviors.

in theory mozilla's scripting api is plugable, so you /should/ be able to add perlscript, pythonscript and dscript.

(someone even asked if mozilla.org would accept VBScript if it was donated -- no reply yet)

if someone is interested in trailblazing this path, i'd be glad to help point to code bits, test and round up assistance (however it probably makes the most sense to start from activestate's python or perl, since they already have xpcom bindings).

So this leads to the other question...

Is anyone interested in writing D XPCOM bindings? http://www.mozilla.org/catalog/architecture/xpcom/
