I believe multitasking must be built in. Each task gets its on private
stack, as well as better timing, since it is handled internally. I'm
sure fractions of seconds are lost in the interpreted timing process
as opposed to the internal timing process.

What I'd like to see is task crash handling:

Example:

  1. A task is created and started.
  2. The task crashes due to a runtime error.
  3. Your crash routine is called with the task id.
  4. Your crash routine notifies the user.
  5. Your crash routine returns true/false to fail or continue.

Just a thought!
