yeah, that would be a very cool thing to put on our 2.0 roadmap.

Actually,

while I agree with "won't fix" here, it would be an interesting thing
to 'carve' out the Velocity Language from the Velocity environment for
loading pages, rendering stuff, returning output etc. and make the
actual page language 'pluggable'.

This is 2.0 stuff, though.

        Best regards

>Hi Colbert,

>If you wish to have a full featured language, there are plenty of those available out 
there.  Velocity's aim is to be the "V" in MVC.  As such, it has from the 
beginning been an explicit goal of the Velocity developers to avoid letting VTL become a 
scripting language.  Integration with a scripting language is a blatant step over that line, 
IMO.  You and others are, of course, free to work on this and share it, but it is extremely 
unlikely that we would accept a patch for this into the core library.

Velocity's macro language should be more powerful than what it is.    I miss the 
capabilities of a full featured language.  I wish that velocity macro language should 
be comparable with Perl or Jython or BeanShell.

processing language like Perl or Jython or BeanShell (Jython or BeanShell are already 
100% Java).   The old macro processing language would disappear, insteand we would 
enter a scripting language like Jython or BeanShell.
