Those are valid comments. One only has to look at CPAN (although I'm not 
much of a Perl fan), PEAR/PECL (although I think PHP is best kept as a 
web scripting language), or how many dozen Python library packages there 
are in Debian/Ubuntu/Red Hat (not to mention Microsoft's embracing of 
Python as a .NET language).

I noticed that Io supports sqlite, but not everybody is going to want to 
just connect to sqlite from their dialplan. One of the great things 
about redesigning the dialplan language is that we won't have to dip 
into AGI for things like accessing an enterprise DB anymore. If we 
choose a mainstream language, it's already going to have support for 
mainstream databases.
