we have written a bit of an application framework (game engine really, but that’s not important) in C++, and would like to extend functionality by a more RAD friendly scripting environment.

So we are looking for a (or multiple) scripting language that is

  1. open source (free: mono is not free on different platforms)
  2. has an IDE (intelisence, for accessible classes/methods)
  3. has runtime debugging support. (breakpoints, and variable inspection at a minimum)
  4. can integrate with a C++ project

anything out there meet these needs?

    Since you’ve indicated your interest in Lua, I’ll expand on that a bit. Using Lua takes care of #1 (open source) and #4 (C++ integration).

    The two projects I’ve been working on may take care of #2 — ZeroBrane Studio is a lightweight open-source Lua IDE, and #3 — MobDebug is a Lua debugger, also open-source, also on github, and integrates with ZeroBrane Studio. ZeroBrane Studio runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux..
