imho, it both lua and javascript are good choices for this. Though I haven't used lua personally, I only hear good things about it, and the syntax is very C-ish. As far as js is concerned, there's probably a lot more people familiar with it (including me) than lua. And js is not just a "dom language". As far as integration is concerned, I know that lua is quite easy to integrate, thought I think that integrating JavascriptCore from webkit will not be too difficult either (judging by reports of integrating it in gtk). But couldn't we support more than one language (and thus also preserve embryo, if there are people that need it)? Something like how IE is able to use both js and vscript in html. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
