I don't read from Nicolas' posting as that he "does not like" Nasal.
Instead, he just explains in much detail why he considers his favourite
alternative as being the better choice for the given task. And why he
considers Nasal as being the re-implementation of an existing wheel.
Certainly a lot of people have become pretty familiar with Nasal's
features in FlightGear, but this alone doesn't automatically imply that
it's the best _possible_ solution.
At the time when Nasal was introduced into FlightGear it certainly had
been the best solution _available_. But hey, if Andy Ross or someone
else would have had provided the close integration of any different,
cleverly designed scripting language XY into FlightGear, then everyone
would now happily script in XY and nobody would care about Nasal.
This is what the discussion is about - or at least was meant to be, if
I understand Nicolas' impetus. Currently there is no choice, if you'd
like to script in FlightGear, then you'll have to use Nasal. It remains
to be seen how many people are going to jump onto another scripting
language if they had the choice to experience the difference.
Cheers,
Martin.
