  16. You might want to consider using John Ousterhout's tcl language, which was
  17. designed for just the kind of application you describe, and which comes
  18. with an implementation.  I'm not saying that tcl is the world's most
  19. wonderful language, but it's decent enough, and you can spend your time
  20. doing real work :-).
