Nice approach, Christian! while looking at the scripts, i thought it will be good to have something like this, it will reduce code and make it more readable.
I see two sides here. The (hopefully complete) API that mixxx provides (connect etc), some built-in convenience functions and the same freedom as today to just use any valid ECMA script along with that. If more 'native' functions will be needed (for instance, send/receive OSC), they will be added and exposed to be used in scripts. For the language discussion, i wonder why many are keen to get rid of Javascript. Why? It's widely known, easy to understand and learn, non-exotic and there is no need for very high performance low-latency processing for switching on and off some LEDs on the controller. Furthermore, it seems to work well and is established in mixxx. I wonder if there's a benefit when swapping it with something else. There will be possibly no gain in functionality (that is, how good the controller will be mapped to the software). More importantly is to have a reasonable set of supported controllers IMHO.
