Perhaps, but something like TCL or Python is more C like, which for me is
a big plus when writing scripts.  Besides, as complex as something like
TCL is to embed, Eggdrop has been around (and used TCL) for ages.  The
code itself is quite readable, and is a great reference.

Regardless of the language chosen, a decently abstracted interface would
be a good way to allow all of the supporters of language X to create some
sort of binding.  If this could be done in a shared library......
