I'd strongly recommend looking also at Python:
 http://www.python.org/
I've seen a demonstration of Python embedded in NCSA Mosaic, of SGI's 
Interactive TV based on Python, and the X Consortium's Pesto (a Python 
interface to Fresco).  All in all, it is a beautiful, portable, object-based, 
extensible environment.
