I would like to call the attention of Haiku developers towards the importance of having user-friendly programming languages available on Haiku. C++ is ok for 'professional' programmers, but what about newbie programmers? Besides, let's face it: many people are put off by C++. More user-friendly programming languages will significantly contribute to the development of the Haiku platform. I propose we makea list of those programming languages that are both powerful AND appealing, and then debate the items on the list (pros and cons, portability, etc.) The goal is to obtain a short list of the best candidate languages, then select a couple of languages that will receive a special treatment (meaning that their development on Haiku will be given priority). And then, of course, concentrate our energies on them. What do you suggest? BTW, my vote goes with Lua, which is both powerful and simple. Alex
