Is it possible to support Python in Flexsim new version?

Flexsim script syntax was more streamlined and intuitive nowadays. However, why reinvent the wheel, not use python as the C++ object' script? Python is more popular, and interact wtih C++ friendly, such as cffi(http://cffi.readthedocs.io/), cython(http://cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#) and Boost.Python(http://www.boost.org/)

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.0.0

In our internal development discussions, we discussed adding support for Python or C#, but we settled on compiling FlexScript to machine code and adding dot syntax for object properties and methods rather than adding a whole new language.

@Junjie Tao,

"but we settled on... FlexScript ... rather than adding a whole new language"

There is currently no plan for adding Python or C# support.
