pegasus is written in c, not a scripting language.
i believe lua is used as one possible language for
cgi.
the argument that if the normal extension
mechanism for scripting languages is x,
thereforenot having x is a weakness seems
a version of argumentum ad populum.
doesn't dynamic loading seem at odds with the
tools approach? the more complex the interface,
the less general the tool.
