    Scripting System

    Hi,

    I'm trying to create an IRC Bot in C++, and it's going well. But an IRC Bot has to be extendable, an Irc Bot is no Irc bot if it can't be extended.

    So, I would like to embed a scripting language in my app. I thought of Ruby or python, which seems to be pretty popular. Other candidates are Javascript (spidermonkey) and PHP. I prefer these 2 languages because I know how to program JS and PHP (and not Ruby/python), but I've found a tutorial on spidermonkey, and it's a lot of work to export classes to Javascript, and I could find nothing about embedding PHP on my app.

    So I would like to ask if you know some scripting languages, which are easy to implent, and eventually some tutorials?

    Maybe this will ease the interface woes - http://www.swig.org/
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
