Dear Brett

Could you tell me what you mean with "pseudo-C++"?

The great thing about ROOT/CINT is that you can write simple
and complex macros in (almost) full C++, and if you follow
the C++ standard, you can even compile them on the fly :-))
Compiling with ACLiC gives you the full speed of C++.

Personally, I do not need Python, Java or any other
scripting language, but prefer to write my macros in C++.

I create all my code as C++ macros first, sometimes more
than 10,000 LOC, and check my code with ACLiC. Why should
I use a scripting language which will not be able to
give me the execution speed that I need.

Nevertheless, I agree that for people used to do their
scripting in Python PyROOT would be a great addition.

Best regards
Christian
