Re: [glob2-devel] Embedded scripting language

[Stéphane Magnenat]

Hi,

Your interest for scripting is perfectly justified, and we have been thinking 
a lot about it in the last few years. Challenges have been identified but 
because we were lazy we didn' summarize them properly in a wiki :-(
Nevertheless here is a thread (lurked from the archive 
(http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/glob2-devel/), that can interest you a 
lot:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/glob2-devel/2005-05/msg00042.html

Basically, as glob2 is synchronous, we need a script that:
- execute the same on all computers (that forbides any use of float)
- has a state that can be stored or reloaded

Lua is a good script, and we were also thinking of squirrel, sort of "next 
generation lua" (http://www.squirrel-lang.org/). We still don't really now if 
the the point above are ok with squirrel, we have asked on their forum but 
until now we didn' get any answer (Marv correct me if I'm wrong)
