[Xitami] Why another scripting language?

[Fabien Royer]

I am sorry if I offend anyone by saying this but...why another scripting 
language? I mean that there are already so many out there, and some actually 
really great and well documented that I ask myself why not embedded one of 
them in Xitami (my personal preference would Python ;-).

What makes GSL so special vs say...Python?

As far as I am concerned that would save you a great deal of time and money 
and make effective use of Open Source software.

Regards,
Fabien.
