I’d think it a fine technology demonstration to show how you can actually, *in practice*, write an application in a dynamic language that relies on libraries in another dynamic language, particularly when it lets you use a library for something for which none are (yet) available in your native language. “We had a working webapp in Perl 6 before anyone even ported a CGI parameter parser to it!” How’s *that* for R.A.D. > No Perl 6 RDBMS interface or implementation is ready yet, nor > will it likely be for some time. Use Parrot NCI to wrap SQLite? More cross-language library reuse… :-) I don’t know enough about the state of Pugs and Parrot to know if this is feasible yet, though.
