Maybe SpiderMonkey would be a way to do it, then? That is written in C,
has a very good track record (the JS engine in Gecko based browsers),
can be embedded (or used standalone) and even has support for E4X (which
fits neatly with the target: XML/XSLT). And indeed, then people don't
have to bind themselves to their own host language but everyone can use
the same language for extensions, which is a much better design choice
than the awkward suggestions I was making earlier.
Interesting you should bring this up, Abel,
See: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/
As well as: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Tamarin:IronMonkey
While I can't really say much more (I'm not under NDA, but out of
professional courtesy I'd rather provide links to public information and
then leave it at that), a few months back I had an opportunity to meet
with the Mozilla folks in Mountain View to chat about this project and can
assure you that while it won't happen until Fx 4, Brendan Eich has every
intention on bringing this project into fruition.
