Delayed features of LSL

I often find myself at a loss with the scripting language. Although it is powerful because we can make interactive objects. It is lacking in many simple methods that are found in most programming languages (string replacement, case statements, error handling). In addition, upcomming functions seem to be on hold forever (text box, url on a prim, dynamic textures). I've even create/voted a few feature requests (encryption, html encode/decode, name 2 key). In the end, we settle for crude ways of implimenting these features or leaving them out. The end result is often scripts that use more memory, or server load. Unhappy with the results, many of my product ideas are abandoned. From Dedric Mauriac via bloghud.com
