supporting TAP means you can integrate with Test::Harness. now, I know that might not seem like much, but we've got quite the number of mature testing tools over in perl-land that are pretty cool. for example, because nearly all the popular PHP testing tools now support TAP (SimpleTest, PHPUnit) PHP test-minded folks don't have to change what they are doing to take advantage of, for example, Apache-Test. the combination of both means they can write their tests the way they always have, but (painlessly) run them in the httpd-embedded PHP instead of in the CLI... without a browser and aggregated on the command line, just like they're used to. so, what else is there in that might work similarly, extending other languages with cool perl tools? I dunno, but I think the ability to integrate like this is something that would make a killer feature if folks figured out how to leverage (and market) it. --Geoff
