I just want the DOM stuff to get finished so that I can rewrite everything I've written to be "internal".
Not to say that this isn't needed, but to make e.g. blends truly internal, much more is needed (new object type, new tool etc). DOM, as I understand it, will have the same capabilities as external scripts, except that it will be faster.
Well, it is my intention to extend the abilities of extensions when the DOM becomes available. So something like the star tool could be rewritten in Python is someone so desired (don't know why, but in theory). The reason I haven't done that to date is that it would be impractical without the speed of DOM.
So, yes, today if we instantly had DOM that would be impossible. But, it is my intention to make that only part of the changes that happen.
Wow. I guess I never thought something like that could be reality.
Tell me if I've got the wrong idea, but I've been looking forward to internal extensions cause I want extensions to have access to the same sorts of things users have access to in the gui. like boolean ops, simplfy, etc. And having access to some of inkscapes powerful internal path structures would be amazing too.
