If it is for easy user scripting: Lua. Flexible, easy to learn,

Yup. And fast. And easily mappable to a different language like
LilyPond. String or symbol? Not a choice you need to make, there are
only interned strings. List, array, hashtable, records? Not a choice
you need to make, there are only tables. And so on.
Both have in common that there is a big user base,
Lua does not have such a large user base. More like a fan base.
Python, in contrast, is solidly mainstream.
I dream of a chimera of LuaTeX and LilyPond, that would be ideal for
my not-only-musical typesetting needs...

(Well I know: patches were thoughtfully considered)
Despite the fact that lilypond-book is available, I try to include all
textual information in my .ly files.
if only the line breaking algorithm of TeX were available as a library
... ;-)
