PowerXS - Marc Zeedar (xDev Magazine)

Perhaps the biggest limitation to XojoScript is that the language does not include access to all of the Xojo framework, such as dates or folderitems. This means you can’t just copy standard Xojo code into a XojoScript and expect it to work. There are elaborate workarounds, such as recreating classes in XojoScript and accessing them via your script’s context object, but that’s a lot of extra work. What if there was a way to do that automatically? With PowerXS, Marc is introducing a system that will include all the code for these frameworks for you. All you have to do is use it to call your XojoScripts and then you can use many standard Xojo framework objects just like you would in your main Xojo applications!
