The possibility of a low-level scripting interface was already discussed internally on our mailing lists some time ago. The idea was generally accepted as a good one, however, such a scripting interface needs to be carefully worked out, and for the time being we'll settle for emulated AREXX and possibly Python.
The real work will start for OS 4.1 on that.
Anyway, at the moment this is all speculative. We have some people that are in favor of Python; other prefer REBOL or PERL.
