Easel's Ken Kocienda: Python is a good initial choice for several
reasons. It is a quick prototyping language that scales up well as

very good bindings to GTK+. Also, Python's rexec and Bastion
features give us the tools to address some of the security concerns
raised by shipping code around the Net that executes on local
systems
