I keep hearing that, too, but so far it seems all rumours and nothing 
conclusive. Can you cite sources? It's a difficult keyword to search 
for, too many results. (To everybody: With things like that, always, 
ALWAYS make proper citations with sources, please.)

Because if that was so, I'd immediately stop all work with the script 
compiler that I'm currently doing. But I've been in contact with Lindens 
about a sandbox where to test my stuff should things go wrong, and noone 
tried to discourage me. There are various JIRAs with feature requests 
for LSL, but no Linden is answering there saying that it's all going to 
be futile. I know that the current script compiler's days are numbered, 
but features can be ported. If it was to be taken away completely 
though, that would hurt.

It would be good if we could have a statement from the horse's mouth, 
saying it's either this way or that way to stop these rumours. Or a 
pointer if we missed it. At the moment it feels rather uneasy indeed.

Thanks,
Felix
