That's interesting..  It sounds worth looking into.

I'm curious about it, but one thing that keeps me from using different
programming languages is that I'd like to be able to re-use code in other
projects, but if you use a different language, it'll make that harder to do.
If I were to have lots of things written in many different languages and I
want to re-use some code, I may end up having to re-implement the code in the
worst- case scenario.  It would be nice to just be able to take a function (or
set of functions) and just include it in another project and use it.
