If JS was used, it might be possible for him to use an existing JavaScript engine like V8 (which uses JIT compilation) for massive speed improvements (not that they're really needed on serverside).

This was simply speculation. I haven't been back long enough to know the sentiments towards GS2 these days. I remember Inverness was pretty heavy on making all scripters Pythonistas.

I'd love to know more about that. Speed improvements are the last thing on the list here. CoffeeScript perhaps?

                          // won't be executed in this context
    // do stuff
  //}
} 


PHP Code:

function onPlayerTouchsMe() { // preferred method
  icon::QuestIcon("MOO");     // you can specify the class name thusly 
                              // (if you want to do so at all)
}
