What are you using RBScript for?

For kind of a plugin concept: My app provides the core and lots
of its functionality is implemented in lots of tiny scripts that
are read in from an XML file and then pre-compiled in RbScript.
Makes my app very flexible when it comes to updating its
functionality or fixing little bugs: I often have to send the
users only an update of the rather small XML file instead of
the 8MB app file. Plus, others can improve the functionality
without having to bother with the entire RB system.

Many scripts are just one or a few lines long, but I've got
several hundreds of them, and they get executed


Could you compile all the scripts as one long script ?
Could you use an tcp or ipc link into your app to change how it responds? (ala client/server thinking)

Keith
