[DUG] Script Engines for use with Delphi

[Alistair Ward]

Thanks everybody for the rapid responses, and further suggestions for things to look at.

My list of possibles is now:

1) DelphiScript from RemObjects

2) Python for Delphi

3) TMS Scripter Studio

4) JavaScript (?)

5) PaxScript (possibly superceded by PaxCompiler)

6) FastScript

7) WinWrap


I personally would be happy with a Pascal-based script language, but suspect it would be easier to "sell" JavaScript to our users :-)  

The TawScriptControl mentioned by Kyley Harris appears to be dead - a search shows no recent activity.

A number of these are COM based, which isn't too much of a problem, as we already have a lot ot stuff exposed via COM.

I'm definitely keen to hear reviews of any of these options if people have experience using them.

Cheers,
Alistair.

  I'm curious to hear what people are using too as we may want to add scripting at some point.

   

  So far everyone has had a different answer and 2/3 are new ones to add to Alistair's existing list of 4... so looks like there are lots of choices out there. The problem Alistair has, and what we will also have if we decide to do it, is knowing which scripting engies are best, as in fast, stable, flexible, well supported, etc.

   

  Any more feedback out there?

   

  Cheers,

  David.
