Theres nothing magical about mono/.net making things scriptable - However, it is a shame there is no uniform way to embed interpreters/vms, and to expose your apps types .... eek, seem to be describing COM now.. Well, maybe UNO or XPCOM will get there one day.

Evo is a pain to customize because (a) the source base is huge and (b) features need to be added directly to the source. Some APIs support CORBA plugins, but the Evo hackers hate CORBA (with good reason). So you can't just load your own spam filtering plugin in the current system. Mono will make plugin APIs brainlessly easy, which gives me some hope I can talk the Evo hackers into providing some. :-)
