Actually, there are plans. I've been in at least 2 discussions (1 was in person) about just how it will be done. The plan, last I heard, is to provide a general API for plugging in a language on the back-end. So if you to use Python, you can. If you want to use PHP, you can. Java? Probably. And so on. The only problematic languages are those with threading problems--like Perl. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
