What we want to do (after 4.0) is a language-independant scripting host that can interface to different languages, including Rexx and Python.


That makes sense. I like the idea of Python-support in the future (post OS4.1?) for two reasons: 1) it's a decent language with a large following and 2) The large following means (potentually) more software for OS4 and a familier point-of-reference for people coming to AmigaOS from other platforms.

But the scripting host sounds even better, no one language is ideal for every situation. I use PHP for web development, C for porting and VP for DE development.  I really like the idea of the OS not being biased in favor of one language.
