I was trying to give you guidance back when you wanted to add scripting. You ended up going with Lua which is not a bad choice, not the one I would have made if I had to do it again but I sure the hell wouldn't have wrote my own functional language like I have done so I think in that case you have done well. I haven't got the time to go through your code or I would. I have however kept up with what you're doing. I thought even in the past I have gave you encouragement in private but you know if you want to keep it nasty because I got pissy with you once over some comments you made that fine with me. I just refused to jump and bite so again have a nice day.

Don't give me that about "eating our own," because I can't really remember to much of you offering your vast amounts of aclaimed knowledge up for advice on this topic, without you can squeeze something in about how awesomeness your own engine is as well.
