I would seriously look at TCL, before implementing my own application
extension language. TCL 6.1 just got posted to one of the source groups
(comp.sources.misc, I think). I have used 4.something and 6.0. TCL is
designed to be an extension language, and to be easily extendable. IMHO
it succeeds in both goals.


Its syntax is a little more complicated than C or PASCAL, but I would still
recommend at least looking at it before writing your own from scratch.
