Yikes, don't tempt me. You heard Curt -- I'd get it written, it would be small and tight and everyone would love it, and then I'd spend the next 10 years turning it into the huge monster that every other scripting language becomes. In place of the Dark Lord, you would set up a King; beautiful and terrible. All would love it and despair. Or something, anyway. I pass the test. :) Or not -- I'll admit that I've thought about writing a scripting language in the past. But it's not a simple project. Or rather, it can be a simple project if you're willing to do Scheme. If you want to do a parser for a nicer syntax and have built-in support for concepts like modules and OOP, it takes more work.
