The API would let you construct a frontend that allows you to write 
simulations entirely in other languages, but implementing such a 
frontend would be a lot of work.

The easiest thing to do is to write most of your code in steve, and use 
a plugin to access your learning algorithm.  So you would write most of 
the code in steve, and use information passed back from the plugin to 
determine how the objects behave.
