I've thought about this and decided against it. One of the major reasons is that I don't want to depend on other people's source code and implementation. If for instance Kovid makes an unfortunate mistake, it brakes the output. I also hate Python and the performance hit it brings. I want modular C++ that can be natively compiled and run on most platforms.
