We're using it for some online projects at Origin as an internal
scripting language (inside of C++). So far, it's been pretty
smooth aside from a few hurdles to jump (SWIG is very useful).
The thing I fear going forwards is the lack of type-safety, since
script programmers tend to have less programming background
then the regular variety. If anyone wants some help with the
issues for doing something similar, let me know.
