| Did I see Pike listed there... I am a huge Pike fan... I am impressed :-)  Does this mean you have used Roxen as well?  

um, a bit ;-\  I've played with roxen, but I could never get work
to subsidize /that/ play.  I was trying to get the company to 
try to sell the Roxen Platform to some CMS-seeking clients, but
I never could get the Roxen rep. in touch with our sales-goldfish.
Sometimes I wish I was in sales, so I could sell cool things for me
to play with :-)

  Pike is certainly one of the most interesting languages happening
right now.  Unfortunately, Fredrik has parted ways with Roxen, and
I'm not sure that's a good thing for pike's growth, since he's 
had to fork the codebase.  I'm not sure yet what he's naming it.
I hope that Roxen does the right thing with their pike.  The biggest
drawback to pike is that it cannot be embedded in another application
like most other interpreted languages.

cheers.
