Obstacles to development

IDTitleDescription
1Class loaderFind the mechanism to dynamically load and execute a class method from an arbitrary position in an arbitrary data file.
2SandboxingWe're concerned that the execution model might lead to security vulnerabilities, and the possibility of malware payloads being released into the application's host environment.
