Jason,

PyObjC <http://pyobjc.sf.net> may also prove very useful if you plan to embedd a scripting environment into your app, since that provides a bridge between Objective-C and Python. That way the scripting environment user could directy access your ObjC objects (or you could provide one level of indirection).

Jason,

I would take a look at Python. I'm wanting to do the same thing, and I just started reading the Python docs right before I noticed your thread. It's powerful, object-oriented, and has a fairly simple syntax. It's also much easier-to-read than Perl. It was designed to be used as either a stand-alone scripting language or embedded into C/C++ applications.

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.
