I'd have thought a script language as otherwise we run into the whole chicken and egg issues of having a multi-platform binary. We could have one in perl and one in python - Paul could even have his own lua version :-) I think that whatever we write we need to figure out how it works and document that very carefully so that we control the "process" rather than simply "write a script". -- david http://feathercast.org/
