Nesla: the scripting language for C programmers.
Nesla is the complete object-based scripting language
written in just a few thousand lines of ansi c. It's
portable, thread-safe, flexible, embeddable, expandable and
easy to understand (as a language and as an API).
Nesla scripts can and often do look very much like JavaScript,
but Nesla is Not an ECMA Scripting Language.
Nesla was originally written as a configuration file parser and
lightweight object model. Low maintenance memory management,
hierarchical data storage, a complete c-syntax script parser,
and a core package size of less than 3500 lines of code are
just nice bonuses.
API extensions currently offer support for several other
software packages, including:
Note: Please don't ask them for support for Nesla-specific issues.
If there is a bug, it's probably not theirs, and they probably can't help you resolve it.
Is Nesla close but not quite right for your needs? Check out

Sample Scripts
Want to see what working Nesla scripts look like? Well,
here is a working web
server. Here is a script
to sync a pop3 mail account. Samples ranging from
poker and
blackjack to a
chat bot can be found

Bugs
If you find a bug, some weird behaviour, or just come up with
a cool test script, show me. I want scripts I can use to
see the bug in action now, and test for possible recurrences
later.
