[Asterisk-Dev] Wish List / Brain Storm from AstriCon

>At the end of the day, Dial Plan is a Turing complete language.  It's got a horrible syntax, horrible debugging features, and it's slow as frozen dog poop (try running >a dial plan with 100,000 lines), but it's a language just like BASIC, Pascal, C, etc.  IMHO, continuing to evolve Dial Plan as a language should be a wicked low >priority -- extensions.conf should be kept around for legacy purposes, but nothing more.  Integrating a better command/event mechanism that allows for languages >of choice is the better choice. (See my other post)

In a sick kind of way, I enjoy the Dial Plan "language".  :)
