I agree. That's one of the prime reasons I am writing perlmoo[1] in perl and
letting it be extensible in perl. Using perl as the imeplementation and
extention lanaguage gets me every item on your list except distributed
processing.
Perlmoo is a lambda-moo clone in philospohy. Every object in the moo is a
first-class perl object (though it doesn't use anything akin to normal perl
object inheritance). Every object method is a scrap of code stored in a
property of the object, plus a cache of precompiled code that is what
actually gets run (for speed).
You can't stress the security requirement enough though. The lanaguage has
to have a sandbox, so users can code in the moo without breaking out into
the machine proper.
