Extending the Application
=========================

During the inception phase, the link:/x/rfc/AllPluginInterfacesAreC.html[idea was commended]
to bootstrap the application as a multi-lingual compound of plug-ins, for maximum flexibility
and ease of contribution. Although this approach garnered much support initially, the ensuing
discussions questioned its viability, with well-known plugin-based systems and frameworks
cited as cautionary example.

A prototype implementation
(-> link:PluginBrainstorm.html[draft for the plugin interface])
was nevertheless developed, but it proved problematic in practical use.
The goal of a flexibly expandable application is still maintained,
but the path to achieving it should be based on actual requirements.

Development of an https://issues.lumiera.org/ticket/1212[Extension Concept #1212]
was thus placed on the list of medium-term
