Another app I've never yet attacked from the loadable script direction,
although in the case of the Gimp I've heard that other languages can
be used, Python in particular.  :-)

And IIRC GnuCash is full of Scheme (or is it another of the free lisps
they used?), and frankly that's an app which I use only because the
alternatives have been so bad (by now, there's a lot of momentum and
all that data that would need to be migrated adding inertia).  Slow and
not very flexible, though perhaps the latter is because I don't think I
should need to learn to write an extension to do trivial things.  Or
maybe my notion that one short line of SQL is a fair analog for
"trivial" is a bit off.  :-)

others to go along with their obsession.  -- Linus
