If we went this way, and did things right, we'd be able to embed any of these languages in cfengine, or embed cfengine into any of these languages, and we'd also have their *huge* libraries of pre-written functions on which to call. We'd also have cross-platformness built in :).We can have that now. Lua is my favorite - Tom's Root Boot (a floppy-based rescue linux) is based on it, and APT-RPM just started using it recently.
I'm afraid I don't see how Lua will allow us to embed Perl et. al. into our cfengine :).
Guile (based on Scheme) also comes to mind.
Ditto.
