Thanks for the feedback. Though I know you don't need or want to know these things, I'll outline the answers in case it leads to any secondary concerns: > Be sure to consider issues of deployment -- will you need to load > source files out of jars or as classloader resources? I will probably want to bundle some scripts (in the JAR file or files) and certainly will need to allow others to be supplied from outside the the application proper. (More or less--in many cases scripts would come from the content repository which in one of the two key deployment modes is a Grails application and they whole business is bundled together and deployed into a servlet container.) > Does the application use classloaders in interesting ways that might > trip up the language implementation? My application does not, but the fact that its deployed in a servlet container might make the answer a de facto "yes." I'm not sure. > Do you need to create multiple independent language runtimes, and if > so, does the language implementation support that? I believe the answer is yes, since the Web app deployment mode is multi-threaded with multiple concurrent users, in general. > Some of these features, if missing, might be easy for you to add -- > ask a developer.
