You have access to the libc and everything else using EXTERN, you've got the
SHELL instruction... I can't imagine a system program you cannot rewrite in
Gambas with these methods. Bringing components into the picture, the Gambas
source code tends to be less complex anyway.

About soft(ware?) for media (streams?), that's a point I would support: I'm
not aware of easy methods for bit-fiddling or using SIMD, etc. like one can
do it with gcc intrinsics. If there a library for it (I don't know) this
could be a target for a component.

That clearly depends on _how_ you use the files. This is the same with all
programming languages: Never read a file into memory for processing it but
use a Stream instead. The number of files opened and their size should not
matter then.
