Ah, good suggestion. I'm going to take a pass for that week, but I like
the idea. You can all sit around the table and give thanks for Larry
et al. ;)

Yeah, it would be nice to actually use the libraries you want
regardless of language, huh? I guess the type mapping will be a
little weird (e.g. you don't have primitive hash refs in Java, nor
flattened array "varargs". I can see how you could fake either one,
though.)
Note to self: Read more Apocalypses. You're way behind.
