If we do re-implement it, why not in Ruby and ride on the buzz?
We can call it JetStream. :-) And it is not Java!
That'd be cool.
WebScript/Java/Objective C all worked together in the same
environment at one time.
It should be possible to make a backend language pluggable, with
HTML, WOD, and the deployment environment supporting any (or a
number of) languages. There is Jython (http://www.jython.org/),
there is JRuby (http://jruby.codehaus.org/), so this is very
possible.
In general the idea to make an opensource, but API compliant WO
framework is only in part about helping current users with the
legacy code. Another part is opening it up to give it a future.
The latter would be my primary interest. Probably yours too. :-)
I think both parts are equally important for this effort to gain
momentum and acceptance. The latter is just more exciting :-)
