I’d like to add a new scripting language to the current options built into DreamFactory.

Current available options are:

- V8 JavaScript
- Node.js
- PHP
- Python

So I’d like to be able to write scripts in bash and the specialist language I use (LiveCode) which I can install as a cgi on the DreamFactory LAMP stack.

I guess I can use one of these existing languages to shell out to LiveCode by writing a php of javascript wrapper, or use DF to call external REST services written in my language of choice - but this is not ideal. Any suggestions?
