Whether PHP or some other language, the point stands. mIRC is mIRC and not some other language. If Khaled started making mIRC do things found in one language, he'd soon have a lot of people asking for things from many different languages. Where would he draw the line? If he does it for one, why not the others? It may not sound so bad, but consider how sloppy that will make the mIRC scripting language if it starts trying to be a lot of different languages rather than just itself.


Actually it would be very easy for Khaled to implement the WSH scripting system as it's built into the OS. This gives both JavaScript and VBScript. And would offer a far better alternative to working w/ COM objects then present.

For example,

Code:
alias foo {
  language:javascript {
    <code>
  }
}
