ARexx will be included, but as 68k binary.

The thing with Python has been an idea for later, nothing more. The idea has changed, in the meantime. What we want to do (after 4.0) is a language-independant scripting host that can interface to different languages, including Rexx and Python.

> What about Regina?

There's an inherent problem with replacing ARexx: amiga.lib makes assumptions about the internal  data structures of ARexx. And unfortunately, amiga.lib is statically linked into the binaries.

Bottom line, it's not possible to just take another Rexx implementation. Therefore, we rely on emulation for now and take some more time to review the issue in one of the future versions...
