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.
There is an ObjC -> Ruby bridge, that lets you access an abitrary ObjC-Class
by simply loading the shared library containing the class from your ruby
script.
Yep, as well as PyObjC for python, and CamelBones (or the
Apple-provided classes) for perl. Objective C almost makes this sort
of bridging too easy... :)
