			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lots of buzz on adding scripting interfaces to applications on <a href="http://planet.gnome.org" title="Planet GNOME">Planet GNOME</a> recently, cool. Looks like <a href="http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl" title="Alexander Larsson">Alexander Larsson</a> hacked together a wrapper around SpiderMonkey (the Mozilla Engine) to get JavaScript integrated. Related to the jscore-python thing I blogged about <a href="http://eikke.com/embedding-javascript-in-python/" title="Embedding JavaScript in Python - Ikke's Blog">before</a>.</p>
<p>Not sure this is the best way to tackle this cool new opportunity though. JavaScript can be pretty hard to &#8220;get&#8221; for people not used to it, but more familiar with classical languages (wrt object oriented paradigms). I guess lots of current code contributors are not very familiar with JavaScript, but do have an in-depth knowledge of some other scripting language though (not listing any here, you certainly can name some).</p>
<p>So, wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if the GScript interface would be abstract for the application developer, who should just create a script context, put some objects in it, and launch a script, after which the GScript runtime figures out which interpreter to use for this script, so scripting languages become plugable?</p>
<p>Reminds me a little of my old OPluginManager work <img src='http://eikke.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
