Ahem, excuse me to come abruptly in the discussion, but how far could
we go by only using only the lyserver and libraries interacing to it
from perl, python, sh, gnuplot, whatever? What would be real gain of
an enbedded language, compared to the development cost (to make it
really useful, I mean)? What you get by integrating python in 50 lines
of code is certainly not better than what you get by making python
interact with the lyxserver, is it?
I guess the only problem is a performance problem. We could however
try to somehow optimize this performance.
