Pros

Pro
Scripting language bindings (via swig) python, perl, tcl

Scripting language biddings are available via swig, supposedly any swig target could be used If you are okay with building, and probably maintaining, the project for your own needs then you may be able to build bindings for your favorite scripting platform.

As noted in a slant "con", there are no binary releases, including no prebuilt bindings.

Pro
Cross platform

Runs on all major desktop platforms.

Cons

Con
No binary releases.

Expect to compile this from source if your want to play with it.

Ubuntu has a package for it, but that package appears to be missing it's scripting language bindings. I expect the build is also quite old and i fear may be dropped in coming Ubuntu releases.
