Still, overall, it is disappointing to me that there is no Perl/Python/Ruby-like scripting language implemented in C++: using C++, the native code interface could be much simpler to use.
Given that there is no C++ ABI standard (yet), I suspect this would be "simpler" only if you used the same compiler for the scripting language and the C++ code to be wrapped. Pretty limiting.

insisting on ``GNU''/Linux and ``the'' Hurd are examples of misplaced priorities.

Common TI misconception. RPN also eliminates the need for parens.
Try (5 + 3) * (6 + 1).
TI: 5 + 3 = * ( 6 + 1 ) =
HP: 5 E 3 + 6 E 1 + *
Assuming my TI keystrokes are correct (I haven't
used one for 20 years), that's two less keystrokes
for this simple example.
