My thoughts exactly, Kyrah.  If we teach that it's bad practice to be used in other languages, what could be redeeming about using it in LSL?  I understand the whole "dynamicism" aspect in terms of writing code that can change depending on where it's loaded from, but I can also think of more negatives than positives if this function were ever to come to fruition.  It encourages dangerous practices and lazy coding.

What could possibly motivate LL to implement what is a GAPING SECURITY HOLE waiting to be used, in LSL? Kyrah Abattoir 18:39, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly, Kyrah. If we teach that it's bad practice to be used in other languages, what could be redeeming about using it in LSL? I understand the whole "dynamicism" aspect in terms of writing code that can change depending on where it's loaded from, but I can also think of more negatives than positives if this function were ever to come to fruition. It encourages dangerous practices and lazy coding. --Hawkster Westmoreland 21:42, 9 July 2011 (PDT)

Not only is it dangerous today, it gets ever more dangerous as script capabilities increase. You might think it's a reasonable risk today, but what about tomorrow when you give a presentation at a stockholder meeting where the majority shareholder exploits llRestrainedLife(), talk about a bind you would be in then. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 23:01, 9 July 2011 (PDT)
