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.

ferite is a language that I have developed and works really nicely with
Cocoa applications as a result of Ferite.framework that I also wrote.
ferite is BSD license based and therefore will play nice with any license
you choose to use. If you would like more information on the language check
out
http://www.ferite.org. If you would like more information about the
Cocoa side of things email me or pop into #ferite on irc.freenode.net and
look for ctr. I have got integration into my application which is Crikey!
and can be found at
http://www.darkrock.co.uk/projects/crikey and the source
can be viewed on
http://sourceforge.net/projects/crikey.
ferite features a C/Java style syntax.
Regarding stability, ferite has been in development for almost 3 years now
and has been used in a number of applications and is therefore pretty battle
hardened.
Regards,
Chris
