I strongly agree with Matej:
An extension language would e.g. make it easier to create interfaces to
other programs - say a function that formats output to be understood by a
computer algebra program and pushs it to the lyx-pipe + a lot of other
usefull functions.
Emacs (and also my favourite editor Jed) would not be what they are now
without the many user contributed scripts.
It is a really nice way to automate things too (just remember the recent
question about downcase a whole document that could have been done within
LyX with a little script).
Cheers
