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.
Folks have already mentioned Python, and I'd definitely take a look
at embedding Perl (though it's got the oldest embedding interface, so
it's a bit first-draft). However.... take a look at Ruby. It's got
the nicest embedding and extension interface of the bunch, and is OO
from end to end. (Unlike both Python and Perl) It also draws many
ideas from Smalltalk, as was Objective C, and it meshes well with it.
