Remember, you said anything you can do in any language, you can do in

player? What about typedef (user defined data types)? Multi-dimensional
arrays? Cross platform portability?
OOP is a programming technique ... not a function that you can perform
with a program. Same for typedef & multi-dimensional arrays. Those are
just constructs that you use to write your program with.
IIRC, doesn't the VA/RPG compiler generate byte code? That would make
RPG cross platform.
Being a DVD player is the only thing that you described that is actually
a function a program can perform. And on that front, I suspect a RPG
program could be written that would send the necessary signals to
hardware to play a DVD. That's not saying *I* could write that program.
