I will make a case for a tcl/daemon, it has safe-tcl, and you
can have command language, curses, or X interface.
There is a tcl extension which allows tk programs to use curses which
in my opinion is a sys admin dreams.

On the other hand, the script that the group really want is Newton-script
which is used on the newton to write GUI applications and it has
excellent OO extensions.
