I might be missing something obvious here, but why is FFI forbidden in Etoys? Is it a matter of security?
AFAIK, Etoys is conceived to be a self-contained computing machine. Primitives and plugins purely an optimization or facilitation. FFI is a bridge to host- specific libraries and it is open-ended. It reduces Etoys to a shell for the libraries. The code within the libraries is not available for browsing/modification within Etoys.
