Just an idea though since virtual machines do take up a bit more work than native code, or maybe just compile into native code to begin with?

Just a thought, unless I completely mis-understood what you were saying.
I'm sure scripting of some form will be talked about once we start defining what the UB will do and how it will be structured. At the very least a scripting component could be made available through one of the plugins, or through a plugin-like module.
