Dear cooters,

I am new to coot, but I have already discovered how powerful extensions and
key bindings can be. My question is quite simple: if I want to generate my
own extension or keybinding, which scripting language is better suited? I am
not very familiar with either but willing to experiment.

There were similar questions already on this mailing list but there are a
couple of things that are not clear to me:

Some of the documentation is for python some for scheme: "the scripting
interface" is python and the "reference manual" is scheme. Are all functions
awailable for both? Or does one have any advantage over the other?

What is other users preference: python or scheme, and why? How often do
people, other than developers, create extensions? And finally to the scheme
scripters: how did you learn scheme?


I would be grateful for any suggestion or insight.

Markus.
