We have scripting now which should be pretty close to the same speed as plugs. Rather than convert an entire language into events, I think it might be better to teach users how to use that feature.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have "plugs from events", but while the conversion of javascript to events might seem doable, yet drawn out, Im willing to bet that turning those events back into script/plugs isn't that easy.
I'd much rather have a community that both teaches, and works as a resource for scripting, which is much more shareable.
Think about it, users have a hard time just understanding pseudocode of events, and that's basically all events are.
