Now this thread has gone on for a while so its time for my contribution :-). PL/SQL is such a necessary although pedestrian language that its not interesting. Of the scripting languages TCL, PERL, and Python all include facilities for embedding them into other code or adding other code to them. What we should do is mount an Open Source project to embed Perl and TCL into Python so that we could create one large abomination in which any syntax or facility that pleases us could be used. Concealing your intellectual property would be simple. Write whatever suites you at the time, no one, not even you, will be able to figure out what you wrote after you've been away for it a week.
