The problem is the interpreter. i am not aware of a small
embedable JS interpreter. SpiderMonkey/Jaegermonkey are complex
and poorly documented. Google V8 is nice but (A) huge, (B) C++,
and (C) they recently made drastic API changes which invalidated
every single v8-using client out there (breaking 4-5 years of
accumulated code of mine, and i'll never have the time to fix it),
which means that very few people outside of Google can actually
use v8 at the moment. JS _would_ also be my first choice, if we
only had a small, well-maintained interpreter.i don't know TCL,
but the TCL and Fossil communities seem to be cosmically bound to
one another. There are relatively few well-established
small/embeddable interpreters. Lua, TCL, ... none others come to
mind (which are small).
I think you can have a look at lo (http://iolanguage.org/) which is a
very tiny programming language.
From a quick glance at that page it looks like the Io Language is
implemented in C99, which may preclude it from use in Fossil if (as I
hope it does) Fossil chooses to remain at C89.
