Speaking of coremods, I have a question about them. This may not be the appropriate place to ask, so forgive me if that is the case.

On one of your posts explaining coremods, you gave an example of nice healthy code and coremod code. Why is it that coremods have to have vastly different codes, when they are merely interacting with a different part of the modding process? If I understand correctly, which I may not, coremods edit the way Forge interacts with Java/Vanilla(?). If so, then why can't it just use "normal' Java syntax?
