If you have any suggestions about what would make it better, let me know. I'm working on Jython support and a Preferences page right now.

It helps that he likes my project... ";->"

I really like it when he says: "Scripting is really just programming by another name. (Don't tell a programmer I said that)." This squares completely with my experience, and leads right into a provocative question I like to ask when programmers turn their noses up at "scripting languages." I ask them how they define a scripting language. Unless they've thought about that subject a bit, they'll usually respond with a definition that makes Java, C++, or any number of other languages into "scripting languages."

Truthfully, I'm not quite sure that dividing programming languages along the lines of "scripting" and "non scripting" (or, as I've run into quite a bit: "non-serious" vs. "serious" programming languages) is useful.

Bottom line: programming is programming, and the same skills are needed whether you are using a scripting or non-scripting language.

It was fun, but it did distract from the game itself, even though it was easy after about the third inning (getting the rhythm down helped). Don't know if I'd do it all the time.
