At least my opinion on this as someone who does a lot of heavy duty event scripting with PERL for my servers is that I just can't contemplate the need to change the scripting language when I can literally do anything my heart desires with PERL and easily at that. It does take some time to learn the functions related to eqemu but honestly it is so powerful once you have it down. Is every function super optimal probably not, but most of the examples your citing, at least to me just elicit a visceral reaction of 'who cares that isn't a big deal' at least not enough to warrant changing languages. Please don't take that the wrong way, I am not trying to be negative towards your work I respect what your doing..
I think it would ultimately negatively impact the project to fork quest scripting languages. Just because something can be done doesn't necessarily mean it should.
Anyways just my opinion.
