It's able to run a light version of SqueezeCenter with the current internal name "TinySC".

It would take a lot of work to develop something in another language with the same functionality as we currently have, so even though I'd also like the server to be in something else than Perl I also understand why it isn't changed.

Seems like a very logical next step, but probably not until the Touch has been released. The question is just how much hassle it will be to setup a unit without a display and no web interface.
