Okay, so you want to script in many different languages.  But I have
one question.  How many commands are people actually gonna use.  If
your system is designed right, simple ifs and equal, comparison
operators and some form of variable control is all that is needed.  I
think that the best solution is to write a new SCRIPTING language.
Script is something you just do, you don't have to have compilers and
whatnot to run it.  My idea is that if you model your system right,
you can design a scripting engine that would be much more useful and
quicker than the standard language.  Afterall, beyond writing the
server, when have you ever used telnet calls?
