This converstion comes up every once in a while and devolves into "my programming language is better than yours" ultimately. My own opinion on the matter is that its a lot of work for not that much benefit: 1) in order for it to be clean, you'd have completely strip out the current muttrc format and make all function first class citizens in whatever scripting language you want. I point to VIM as an example of what NOT to do (I love the editor, but the xternal language support is VERY kludgy). 2) Very few people actually need this. Keyboard macros can do the job for all but the most picky users.
