Yes, I know that the project is written in Python, but what's your opinion on
Ruby? ;). Ok, let's stop already, I really like both languages.

Cool, that was fast. If I would've known this, I'd tested it more thoroughly ;).

Will do. I know there's a Metasploit WMAP import plugin, maybe I'll use this as
a basis.

Hehe, I think JS is a rather elegant language misunderstood by those trying to
use a prototype-based language in an object-oriented way. Which leads to all the
ugly code out there. Oh, and the stuff introduced by MS to the language (think
JScript). But I digress. I actually thought of porting JS Beautifier to Python,
not reinventing it. But yes, this will be a little bit more work, but I was
thinking of doing this at some point anyway.
