We're getting really tangential now, but if you like stack-based languages, Factor is pretty nifty and actually has decent cross-platform scripting capabilities. The web server, wiki, and continuous build system are all written in Factor. Here's a blog post describing the build system, with pointers to the code: http://factor-language.blogspot.com/2010/09/making-factors-continuous-build-system.html --Levi /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
