 It would be interesting to begin a discussion about what we could change to make them more efficient and maintainable in the long run. It is also necessary to think long term, like how can we support JIT compilation to native code from the OpCode (full or partial).
+Ideas posted on the list:
+  * AST based compiler (Julien)
+  * Rewrite the engine
+Also as much as I would like a full rewrite of the engine, it sounds very hardly possible to do it within a reasonable time-frame (say two years), except if we suddenly have a couple of developers working full time on this task.
