llEval(string code);

In php, the function eval() can execute a piece of code from a string.

I would LOVE to have llEval(string code[,list denied_functions]);

list denied functions could be a list like:
[llSetObjectName(),llDie()] etc etc

It would be nice to have an object look in a database of scripts and be able to select the script it would do...
like a weapon can xml-rpc a website (maybe soon?) and get the code.. if the code has changed, it will overwrite the current code with the code. Idea (c) 2004-2005 Alpha Zaius

I highly doubt that you will ever see "eval" implemented in LSL. PHP was originally based on Perl which had intrinsic support for eval(). LSL is given a small fraction of the sim's CPU and compilation into bytecode is probably an extremely expensive operation. So, even if it were relatively easy to implement, you could expect the performance to be so poor as to be unusable for most purposes.

Yes, most of that is an informed guess. Refutation is welcome.

Eh, I thought the compiler worked on the client and then uploaded the bytecode. So it really makes eval() impossible, doesnt it.
Damn. I was going to suggest it until I found this thread.
CAN WE PLEASE MOVE TO PYTHON OR SOMETHING KTHXBYE

I think that is exactly how it works. eval() would be way cool but kinda tough to implement, not to mention expensive.

Oh, yes, because I really need to learn another language!

LOL, you suck. Who the hell doesnt know Python these days? Are you working for MS?
Dude, you can "learn" Python in 30 minutes. It is that easy.
Syntax is mostly C-ish, but you use tabs instead of curly brackets.
Imagine being able to do this in LSL:

for curString in gList:
	llSay(0, curString[2..4]);

This prints characters 2 to 4 in ALL strings in the WHOLE list!
You can do stuff like a, b, c = 1, 1, a+b and it will do the same as a=1; b=1;c=a+b;
Don't even get me started on tuples. Or comprehension lists.
Once you've gone Python you'll never go back! Python is the reason why I started hating C.
Plus, Don said that LSL would continue to be supported if we did move to Python.
So you dont have to learn anything.

I agree with Eggy -- Python is very easy to learn.

I would love an SL python API.
