Right, which is why talking about adding a language is somewhat the wrong 
question. AOLserver is more of a framework, although Java/C# also have 
somewhat hidden frameworks for concurrency/memory management. You can't just 
add a language to AOLserver, because most languages don't provide the same 
high level framework.
