About writing another scripting language.. Isn't there already too
many ways to write a for loop? The reason I think it would be
worthwild to just hook up an interface to a scripting host is because
it's pointless to write another language. There are far too many
as/is. I don't think there would be much, if any, syntax to add to a
language just because you write it for a MUD. Getting away from pure
MS technology, I've been looking at the python API, concidering
imbedding the parser in the mud. Or doing it the other way, extended
python with C++ modules. The main reason scripting seems so appealing
to me is because I'm tired of recompiling everything when I want to
change something. I'm still a bit foggy on what goes where
though. that is in the C++ and in the script.
