Which is exactly where this thread started; I was suggesting that GnuCash
core should ideally become 100% C with a well defined plugin/extension API
with language bindings for different languages. As Stuart suggested, vim is
a perfect example. vim has bindings for perl, python, ruby, tcl
etc. Gnumeric is a good example of a GNOME project with plugins in different
languages - perl, python and guile.
