I like the idea it'll be available for some Linux OSes that use KDE as their GUI... but Lua? Com'on, be serious, it has a horrible syntax.

 

[cfrankb]

The two keys restrictions are speed and portability. Other than that, I'm open to suggestions.

The question is: what scripting do you think would be a good replacement for Lua? Python? Ruby?

 

[kyonides]

Ruby is well known here, but it's a bit more difficult to implement according to some people's opinions, so maybe Python could be a good option, but it's a matter of personal taste.

Lua is definitely the smallest and easiest to expand on, though. Python and Ruby are huge, but definitely more flexible for scripters.
