Despite the wealth of scripting languages available the heart of
scripting is usually a specific purpose, so the chances of any
scripting language meeting your particular purpose is low. I
recently wrote a game with a scripting language (far away from MUDs)
where my game rules were defined in the scripts and I looked at all
those mentioned and decided to use Simkin.
