Hmm. I read this asProblem: not enough hackers to maintain our PL languages.Proposed solution: add more PL languages. Somehow this doesn't seem quite right.
Although I see your point, that actually wasn't my point. My point was that I felt we need a good well respected (and dare I say *hot*) new language that was truly OO and could be run as a trusted/untrusted pl language.
If pl/ruby is going to get into the core, it should be because of demand for it based on its own merits.
I agree.
I don't think this has got anything to do with pl/python.
Not directly but indirectly it does because for me at least, what drove my negotiations was that plPython is an OO language that I enjoy but can't use the way I want. pl/Ruby is an OO language that i enjoy that I *CAN* use the way I want.
