As long as Steve is defending a particular scripting language, I don't think I personally ever got a good feel for why the Manta UI would be scriptable. I understand sending commands to a renderer, and having those commands create helpful user interfaces (for example, when viewing an isosurface having a little widget to help you pick a particular isosurface value) is an obvious benefit, but nothing I've described so far requires a scripting language to actually generate user interfaces. Would anyone care to clear up my confusion?

Have you guys decided on python rather than ruby for a scripting language?


Steve will have to defend himself on this one. It's mostly his decision.
