Are there any plans for a feature within Monkey to enable a website to be viewed from within a Monkey app? This would allow me to use Monkey for a project I'll be working on that requires integration with a website.

Are there any plans for a feature within Monkey to enable a particle accelerator to be viewed from within a Monkey app? This would allow me to use for a project I'll be working on that requires integration with the Large Hadron Collider. Thx. :-)

@slenkar, I think Mark is referring to no major changes to the core language, but there's nothing stopping someone from developing custom modules and extending it.

Monkey got pretty comprehensive support for programming the DOM in version 33 including full access to HTML5 canvas and WebGL extensions.

Unfortunately not as far as i can tell the entire android/ios APIs are not wrapped at all. This pretty much means it is not mature enough for writing full-on "apps" (at least where professional app development turnaround is required) -like you can with other translation frameworks and of course native code.. unless they are games.
..but of course that is the main point in monkey and i suspect it will excel at that. But at the moment it is no good for writing app-apps.
Would be nice though.
