LC could definitely be extended to do anything. But the team has limited
resources and chooses new features carefully depending on a number of
factors, and one person's need may not be enough to justify the work. In
the spirit of OSS, we now have a way to implement those extensions ourselves.
Thank you for a very clear explanation which improved the taste of my
breakfast no end.
Although . . . it still doesn't quite explain why we need LCB to do some
"heavy lifting": why can LC
not be extended to encompass that?

True, and I did take

A lot of people are speaking about what may be done, may be

All 'examples' listed in this thread need LCB and most of them

*learning* C is easy--I've done it dozens of times.

the purpose of this thread:
Foundation Framework is "prepackaged" code, also LCB.
So could you please give us one simple example of what
you mean with "you can use its power inside of a stack
instead of writing extensions" (with the help of C/C++/ObjC
only).
Thanks.

If you want it all prepackaged ask the
Livecode team to use the samples in
widgets. They will do what they see
is financially beneficial so your money

JB,
thanks. A simple example of an already available foundation
function and a link to a header listing others is here:

JB,
are you speakin
The Livecode team imported Apple’s Foundation
Framework so you can use its power inside of a
stack instead of writing extensions. It will be a
little slower than an extension but in many cases
the loss of speed will not be noticeable.
To access all the power of foundation you need to
