I've often thought about it. What you would do is compile & load the "script" sections as dynamic libraries. Then, even the game engine itself could just invoke the command-line statement to compile the "script" to a dynamic library, and then reload the new dynamic library. Quake 2 used DLLs instead of a "scripting" language. As for other langauges: Lua is currently *king* for game scripting. It's used all over the gaming industry because it's fast and integrates with C very easily. Personally, I don't like it because it *is* a dynamic langauge. But if you're looking for a dynamic language, well, then there's that. Back in the 90's, the game Abuse famously had all its gameplay code written in LISP. It's been open-sourced, so you can can find the source and look through it.
