sorry, am in a giddy mood tonight
found a scripting language i get on with.. Lua
as long as you're happy
:P
makes a change, im usually "a miserable git" according to swmbo
Lua is pretty neat, and used for a lot of embedded stuff
it's like the new Tcl
doesn't lua hardly bloat up executables?
i seem to remember that as being one of the great things about it
yeah, the interpreter is tiny
so using minimally in applications is easy, and doesn't make programs suddenly seem bloated
esp compared to perl, tcl etc.
Lua is also designed to be easily sandboxable. As standard, a lua script running in an an embedded setup has no access to anything outside of lua itself until you write hooks to let it read/write the variables in your app etc
Compared to embedding perl, you have to work hard to remove all the file opening and process spawning options from it before it is anywhere close to being something you might want to let untrusted code run in
