[Gmsh] Recommendation for scripting in gmsh

[Max Orok]

Well, .geo file scripting is nice if you only need a few commands and don't
want to write a large program.
It is also useful for interacting with other Gmsh users as a sort of lingua
franca.

On the other hand, I would lean towards the API if you'd like to write a
larger program that takes full advantage of Gmsh's features
with the possibility of interfacing with other programs.

In terms of functionality, I would guess they're broadly similar, but as
the API develops it is likely more and more features will be added there.
