I think there are a lot of things to learn from Java. Java 6
introduced javax.script hosting API.
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/script/package-summary.html

For example, ScriptRuntime corresponds to Java's ScriptEngineManager.
We can compare API to get scripting engine for the given language.

DLR
ScriptEngine GetEngine(string languageId)
ScriptEngine GetEngineByFileExtension(string extension)

javax.script
ScriptEngine getEngineByName(String shortName)
ScriptEngine getEngineByExtension(String extension)
ScriptEngine getEngineByMimeType(String mimeType)

Is getEngineByMimeType a good idea? Similar comparisons can be made
for all other APIs too.
