Sure ;-).
I know what you mean, I just wanted to mention that IMO C is also a
high-level programming language and yes, it's not a scripting language.
And yes, I also agree that average users(dangerous to speak about
"average" users in general ;-)) might rather be or get familar with
some easy scripting languages than with a real programming language.
Just a matter of taste and for plugins it might be indeed useful to use
scripting languages if possible.
Btw, I would like to work on the Python integration but still no idea
how. If anyone has any experiences with that or know a good resource of
documentation, feel free to post it(in a new thread please).


Regards,
Enrico
