If you wanted to create a scripting host API for Unix, I'd suggest
that CORBA is just right for the problem. It will allow to integrate
arbitrary interpreters using separate processes; all you need is a
CORBA implementation for the scripting language - which is available
for the major ones. It also allows you to integrate the interpreter
in-process for those selected languages that support binary plug-ins,
with minimal changes to the host.
