Just to put in my 2 US Cents, I am very new to programming.  In fact the only 
languages I know are BASIC and a little VisualBASIC.  I am starting to learn 
Python for an experiment I am doing.  I would like to see the ability to take 
advantage of OBOS GUI APIs in Python.  My problem is that, to my 
understanding,  BeOS is the easiest platform to program on, but you have to 
use C++ in order to take advantage of all of its features.  This is great if 
you learned to program on another OS and then start programming for BeOS.  As 
for me, a BeOS addict, I would I would rather learn on BeOS.

Is there a way we could modify (add modules or procedures) or come up with a 
way to allow several scripting languages access all of the APIs.  As far as an 
official scripting language, I don't see why OBOS can't include several 
scripting languages with the distribution, like Rexx, Python, PERL, gawk, sed, 
ect. like Linux does.
