I don't understand why compiled languages would make plugins harder. They just need explicitly defined entry points in libraries like DLLs. This has been existing for literal decades in other systems, for example Adobe plugins or Steinberg VSTs. It's not an unsolved problem.
They are harder by comparison. With OpenCode / Pi, you can start by just putting code in a file in a specific folder and away you go. Compiled languages require more steps for the user, and also more complexity for the developer.
I see. I wonder if they could arrange a .md file to feed to the LLM of their choice to generate a compiled plugin based on the instructions in it, thereby bypassing the "complexity" for the user and developer, yet having the benefit of a compiled asset?
