Hi Christian,

Thanks for the hint. I've been experimenting with mixed engine scripts
and it works well!

For the sake of the Trace Compass users, I made some benchmarks of the
EASE scripting engines for python and javascript with our typical uses
cases. Here's the result [1]. And we suggest mixed engine scripts for
python when they require both access to the java methods and access to
external python libraries.
