RealBasic sounds like a good option. Choosing that would probably make scripting the most accessable and familiar to more people.
I had a look at Lua and it reminds me of PHP, which I like and am spending a lot of time on at the moment. I'm not sure how noobie friendly that would be, although I found learning PHP was fine.
Also I noted this about Lua :
quote:
Lua is distributed in a small package and builds out-of-the-box in all platforms that have an ANSI/ISO C compiler. Lua runs on all flavors of Unix and Windows, and also on mobile devices (such as handheld computers and cell phones that use BREW, Symbian, Pocket PC, etc.) and embedded microprocessors (such as ARM and Rabbit) for applications like Lego MindStorms.
That might appeal to some users and echoes a few people's ideas on where Hal could be going.
I dunno, one side of me wants to be lazy and say go with what you know and the other says try a different direction and learn something new.
Hmm, what's the story on C++ ? Anything in that line ? Also Python comes to mind, which is pretty popular.
I'd like to hear what other people have to say.
P.S. Good luck with the Loebner Rob, pretty soon isn't it ?
