built-in scripting languages.

[Bryan Larsen]

Well, that's "official" enough for me.  I'll develop new apps in PyGTK 
for now.  If I need to, I'll port to C later.

The announcement today of the Gnome Mobil & Embedded Initiative 
(http://www.gnome.org/mobile/) also shows Python in its block diagram, 
right below a picture of a neo1973.  Python is the OLPC language of choice.

I'd still like to see gtk-server (http://www.gtk-server.org) in the base 
install, so shell scripts can have GUI's too.

cheers,
Bryan
