TCL may be worth considering. It was designed to be embedded into
applications, and is very easy to integrate with C. The syntax is
shell-like. The core is reasonably small and easy to understand
(especially if you track down the older 7.x code base). I've never
tried integrating it with Cocoa, but I can't imagine it being too
difficult.

I'm looking for a good scripting/extension language to embed in my
Cocoa app. My first thought was to use something like guile since,
based on my experiences w/ Emacs, execution of interpreted lisp
functions can be pretty fast. But, since I'm having difficulty
compiling the most recent version of guile, and am also completely
ignorant as to whether something better might exist, I thought I'd ask
for recommendations.
The eventual aim is to implement something like an interactive shell
in which users can type commands which are executed by the app. Given
this, I suppose I have a slight preference for a language whose syntax
is more like C or Java than Lisp, since most users would find that
syntax more natural. Another desiderata is how easy it is to
integrate the scripting language with a standard Cocoa-document PB
project.
Thanks,
Jason
