Object refs will be meaningless outside of a MOO server. Already there's
enough trouble with using them in code in a database portable fashion, and
hence the proliferation of $foo.
#1444:run_network_command("connect") is meaningless outside of an
environment in which #1444 exists and has a callable verb called
'run_network_command'.
What possible use would the MOO language be outside of a MOO server?
I'm all for advancing the language, but there are enough high level
languages out there. We don't need another one, as much as I like MOO.
Effort should go towards updating the server we have, for example
inclusion of Lao Tzu's unicode patch, among others, and a distribution of
1.8.2.
