It would be nice to have alternative integrated script support for Rb, as RBScript has been unusable for me over the years until I finally, and regrettably, had to gave up on it. On the Mac, you can use AppleScript (and perhaps Javascript through AppleScript?). There's also options on all platforms (except Mac Classic, perhaps) to run scripts through shell objects -- but data passing is limited to before and after the script executes.

I don't know if it's techinically possible through plugins, but an environment that gave tighter integration with a running Rb app would be fantastic -- something you could do a .PartialRun on or maybe even pass strings, numeric types, variants & structs back and forth to.

Is there any module, class, or plugin that enables REALbasic programmers to use a script engine from REALbasic programs?

I was thinking to write a plugin to execute scripts written in a stack-based script, which could be available for Linux, and Windows (first on Windows). Being a plugin, it would permit to use classes (or objects) declared in REALbasic (something like what RBScript does).
Is there anybody interested in that?
