My favourite scripting language is Lua. Lua, written in C, has its roots
in Unix, but it's easily ported to Mac OS, Windows xx, BeOS, and others.
Lua is small, fast, and very capable. I sure would like to see it
available for BlackBox/Oberon, but that's way beyond my capabilities at
the moment.

Have a look here:
