The C++ guys would be glad to provide you with pointers. The Managed C++ people will give you pointers, but only safe ones. The C# group will give you pointers, but only if they _really_ have to. The Python group gives you pointers all the time, but you're never really aware of it.
But seriously ... I had the same question about 2 years ago and was able to make use of Python.NET from Brian Lloyd at Zope. To really answer this question you need to identify how the scripting will be used. Will you only make system calls? Will users make scripts of scripts? Is it mainly for short-cuts and/or macro-type functions in your program? What data types do your users need to create or reference? By clearly defining the use of scripts you narrow the field of contenders. My short answer is that IP can probably scan the greatest spectrum of applicability; anything from scripts that simply wrap function calls, i.e. open an explorer window with this URL, to self-contained programs that create windows and respond to system events.
