                                     A significant challenge will be for the
   FSF to implement this great extension language and then provide a generic
   API so that people building things don't HAVE to use it, so that they
   could in fact, if they desired, used tcl or ksh or rexx or whatever.

Haven't I read this somewhere before?
Like RMS's and Tom Lord's original posts, perhaps?

Could it be that Tom Christiansen is finally getting the message?
