Below is a verbatim extract from my ASL TODO list.
I'm not sure how close to your idea this is.
Any comment or idea is welcome.

Ivan.



ADAM
- embed a scripting language interpreter to easily enrich virtual machine.
- when scripting, find out a way to preserve automatical disabling (see "flatness" example below)
  
Typical adm file:

include "my_favorite_function.lua" 
// contains something like : adam_symbols = { function my_favorite_function (p, f) return (p == nil and 0.0) or f end } 

sheet clipping_path
{
output:
    result                  <== { path: path, flatness: flatness };

interface:
    //unlink flatness : 0.0   <== (path == empty) ? 0.0 : flatness;
    // would become :
    unlink flatness : 0.0   <== my_favorite_function (path, flatness);
    path            : 1;
}
