<PRE>
 &gt;&gt; I'd be game to do an in-MUD programming language component, but I
 &gt;&gt; betcha few people would like the language (mostly strongly typed,
 &gt;&gt; syntax not at all like C, etc.)
 &gt;
 &gt;I'd be much more tempted to go with one of the several readily
 &gt;available embeddable languages that is already out there (and
 &gt;hopefully reasonably well tuned).  Python comes to mind as one
 &gt;example -- just add in a coule default modules to handle your data
 &gt;model and such trivia and you're away.

Perhaps, but that just shows you aren't a programming language geek
like me. Writing languages is *fun*. OK, so I'm wierd. My very brief
exposure to Python leaves me not too pleased with it - too OO! I'll
use OO when I judge it appropriate, not all the time (same problem
with Java, unfortunately). So shoot me! :-)
