Also consider the possibility of embedding another language within
Octave. Since Octave is a dynamic language, an appropriate language for
this might be python, perl, or scheme.

Also: don't abuse ints ;) If I read the NEWS.gz correctly, you can
define new disjoint data types. It's important to be able to discern if
something is an object or an int -- otherwise you enter the Cave of the
Neverending Segfault.

In any case, good luck.
