RE: Brain Dump of Towards FIT 1.0 OpenSpace session

John,

Can you take this a bit further? What would you put in the single
codebase? What language would it be in. My own take is that something
like ansi C would be needed if it were to work in all environments, and
that the resulting feature set would therefore stop short of anything
depending upon reflection.

But I may not be understanding where you're going.
