I've been learning Tcl / Tk and it makes a nice shell like extensible interface. You can get a version which still has limited support (8.4) on abandon-ware sites. I've been trying it on a 540 and it takes several minutes to load but after that not too bad considering. If you take it up, suggest trying it on say a Tiger ppc (I believe it shipped with 8.4); you can use Tiger to file-sharing to transfer files. 8.0 Tcl is much faster on 68k but most available extensions these days require later versions whereas you can still do a lot on 8.4; and once inside Tcl programs are portable across many operating systems. Tk is the graphics part, which you can also use in python. In OSX, tclsh can be used as a standard shell like bash in the terminal if you like. If you are interested I can make further suggestions on getting started. Especially helpful is book by Welch, comes with a very handy cd with extensions libraries and learning tool; and also the Tcl app TclTutor which you can download and run anywhere to try Tcl
