I've quickly played with it, and from what I've seen it's almost perfect for scripting, at least due to the following reasons:
* it can be linked statically, thus it should run on any Linux with a simple copy; (not by default, use `LDFLAGS=-static`;)
* it can embed in the binary the core library (and other libraries of choice), thus there is no need for other files to be installed; (this is not by default, but by using the `image.zuo` directly one can get this;)
* it has minimal startup latency, almost 2x lower than Python2.7, and many times less than Python3.10; (this is without the extra libraries embedded, with the extra libraries embedded it's still faster than Python2.7, but not by that a large of a margin;)
I haven't yet checked the available API, but it does seem to be quite enough for simple system related scripting.
