The difference is in mIRC a variable can be evaluated and interpreted as a command if placed alone on a line. You cannot do this in any compiled language because said-language command names are unknown in machine code. if a variable contained "myfunc(blah)", the compiled language could only treat it as a string and nothing more.

In mIRC, things are interpreted (compiled) in real time, line by line.
There is a big difference.

Well. At least I won lunch.
Good philosophy, see good in bad, I like!
