Functions.
I would dearly like functions.
Like functions like this:
Where the function is defined in the context then launched.
Would make programming readable (no hidden definitions!) but more flexible (I'd have hundreds for OSes/AIs and maybe a couple for normal coding).
Get it? 
Back in my day.... there were no laws that censored the internet... now, there are.... nah.

No it isn't, broadcasts can't take inputs (have variables that are purely local to the function and are defined when the function is called), return values (be an oval block), allow recurrsion (having functions call themselves without inturupting the current execution) or be atomic (all the other scripts will wait before it is finnished). Also, this WILL happen in 2.0, but not with the same interface. click herefor more details.
