A common user feature request has been to adding the ability to program a trigger. You know, with if-then statements and for loops, etc.

If you had to choose a language, what would it be? Why?

Good feedback. I've been pondering both JavaScript and Lua.

Now that Savitar 1.4 is out the door, the real fun begins. Savitar 2.0 will pick up development speed now. Savitar 2.0 is going to be the foundation for the new scripting language.

I hate to necrotize a thread, but I would vote for perl and/or shell (sh/ksh/csh/bash) scripting, with a definite boost for the Applescript 'do shell script' mentioned on page one.

Also, if the language in question could be used at the command line, that would be great, too. This would be fantastic for troubleshooting script segments in real time, as well as performing multiple commands, inserting aliases, redefining variables, and so on, in a live mudding environment.
