Squirrel as alt scripting language - Kwen - 11-05-2011
Squirrel(http://squirrel-lang.org/) is a scripting language heavily inspired by lua and c++. I'm convinced this would be an excellent alternative scripting language, so we should probably take chances to implement it.
Discuss.

As awesome as squirrel sounds, I fear it won't hold up to the more popular scripting languages. Adding it would be a lot of effort for what could possibly be very little.

The only downside (IMO) is that Lua has crappy support for classes, while Squirrel natively supports classes. So I do want to give it a try :o

It sounds like it's worth giving it a whirl.

If it's getting added anyway, might as well make use of it.

This one may seem a bit forced

I'm kinda stuck at trying to call functions from C++ on class objects within Squirrel
I've seen posts about it on their forums, but without answers.
