I aggree entirely. The idea of writing the core system in a low-level
language, and having a higher-level language as it's interface "controlling"
the system, is the way I approach problems (And is I think the future as
most systems seems to be 10% core code, 90% interface code).
Another advantage is that a developer can opensource the controller code,
allowing the user to have a greater degree of flexibility.
