Lua is _excellent_ for this kind of thing.  Here's a video I did of a 
now-dead project I was working on: http://youtu.be/SapI9nZBajQ

CIM was multi-threaded and used one thread per instrument - each 
instrument used its own Lua engine.

Then Leo (Beta Innovations) got butthurt about something and took his ball 
and went home.  That happened about week before I was ready to put out a 
beta version of CIM.  I'm STILL pissed of at him over it and I've never 
gotten a reason why.  *grrs*
