&gt;&gt;  I'd be much more tempted to go with one of the several readily
&gt;&gt; available embeddable languages that is already out there (and
&gt;&gt; hopefully reasonably well tuned).  Python comes to mind as one
&gt;&gt; example -- just add in a coule default modules to handle your data
&gt;&gt; model and such trivia and you're away.

&gt; Perhaps, but that just shows you aren't a programming language geek
&gt; like me. Writing languages is *fun*. OK, so I'm wierd. My very brief
&gt; exposure to Python leaves me not too pleased with it - too OO! I'll
&gt; use OO when I judge it appropriate, not all the time (same problem
&gt; with Java, unfortunately). So shoot me! :-)

This is actually one of the bits I rather liked about Python.  It is
in basic structure extremely OO, but lends itself very easily to
writing very non-OO procedural scripts.  Thus I found it a very easy
and comfortable hacking language, as well as one to write full-scale
applications in.
