AREXX is a decent scripting language. It's not well suited to handling
things other than text strings directly, but you can put in a level of
abstraction to hide the stuff.

I wouldn't want to try to pass input messages through it, but as a tool to
build trees it'd work fine. Use integers or other tokens to tell REXX about
the nodes...
