Just a little > perspective from outside :) This might be true for Scheme but Python is a lot more mainstream. And IMHO it's not as much a question of language than a question of API ( I write my Python scripts by looking at Scheme code & docs). When your remove all things "document"-related from someone's alleged JS expertise, there isn't much left and that's all they would be able to reuse to write Gimps scripts in JS... Python is a rather nice and sound language, GIMP already has an interface for it, it only needs some improvements and a better/more up-to-date documentation... _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
