the gtk server idea as such is an interesting idea, but personally I do not
see much added value in creating a protocol on top of a library, when with
the same effort one could create the wrapper around the library. I think
creating and maintaining a wrapper for wt for several languages (I
understand there is one for ruby, but nothing for python), would bring much
more added value. Even more, I see that in case of WT it is not the wrapper
that would make much sense, but to link applications agains the scripting
engine (which is not exactly the same), and allow to write some callbacks in
that scripting language. If the scripts prove to be slow, rewrite them in
C++.
