Wow, that was very useful. While I do agree that the syntax was
strange here and there it was _very_ readable and probably easy to
learn. I guess defining objects and how to react to events in the
core of what I would need. With that in mind are there any similar
scripting languages for java? I found many languages to be kinda
bulky and require much pre-hand programming knowledge...
