Thanks Jeff- The main goal of the project can be said to create an api (not website) framework which is appropriate for many types of clients (tcp, http, etc). While able to server up static sites/assets, the main focus is on the API layer. To help make this easier, the framework has cluster features and delayed-processing features added in.
I think that you are correct, and my use of the word 'polygon' might be confusing. I meant it to mean 'able to work with many languages/syntaxes' not that it can run other languages. This is a node.js/javascript API. Thanks again!
