Scripting languages, like Python, Ruby, Lua, Perl, etc. are emerging as "system
glue" which are alternatives to using C. I think this is a good trend. If I
had to pick a direction in which to go, one or several of these languages/environments
would be the way I'd do it (and still provide C APIs).
Choosing from the above - Python. It has a much bigger community than Ruby or Lua and Perl - well, forget it for readability compared to the others.
Google use Python for their software - incredible when you think how fast Google is.
