Choosing embedded scripting language for C++

Question

I want to choose an embedded scripting language that i will use on C++. It should connect a database such as Oracle. My host application is a server application. That will pass

Answer 1

Lua is intended to be an embedded language and has a simple API. Python and Ruby are much more general purpose and are (for embedding at least) significantly more complicated. This alone would lead me to using Lua.
