Doesn't exist actually ! It's more of a feeling...

Tough question. I think I wanted to create a language that even a non- 
programmer can understand (that's why SGSL didn't have any loops at  
first, only actions and wait statements). But I'm aware that tis  
probably is not possible...
Now Easy would be more like Python or PHP.

Did you take a look at an SGSL code yet ? I still am convinced that  
it's edition has to be more or less graphical (to position the areas,  
and flags for instance) which isn't possible yet (you have to declare  
the areas with coordinates wich is a pain...)

What I wanted to do was not to take any existing scripting language  
just because it felt pretty and neat. I wanted something designed  
specifically to control the globulation universe (a highly tuned  
language). I didn't succeed in my first attempt (although I still  
think that SGSL is simple and easy for many simple scenarios as the  
one you find in Starcraft for example). I just don't have the time  
now to think about it and design a new one...

But I would be ready to take a look at any proposal.
