No no no! People already get confused trying to mix old and new GScript. Adding more languages will just make that worse.

Do you honestly think that every other language in the world is based upon reading a manual and instantly understanding everything? There are IRC channels on the Internet with hundreds of thousands of users asking questions about scripting languages, and there are Usenet groups on the Internet with hundreds of thousands of users asking questions about scripting languages, and forums on the Internet with hundreds of thousands of users asking questions about scripting languages.
