For those of you who don't know, MCL was Methabot's own scripting language. While it was a fun programming challenge, it was dropped in favour of E4X. The code is however still available in the subversion repository; with the virtual machine, compiler and disassembler. For those of you who don't know, MCL was Methabot's own scripting language.

Methabot does **not** leak memory. It does, however, not clean up the URL cache upon exit. The URL cache is used throughout the whole execution of Methabot, and should never be freed, hence there is no real leak but only missing cleanup code. The URL cache is very advanced and I'll attempt the cleanup code any time soon, though it's not really on the top of my todo list. -sdac Methabot does **not** leak memory.
