|"Interesting and challenging" is language designer talk for "very
|difficult" ;-) It would still be a fun project though - how little do
|you need support to be able to produce usable and useful applications.

No, no, the only reason I said "challenging", is that I'm
certainly not a GUI person, even though I wrote start-up
for Ruby/Tk and Ruby/Gtk.

Neither a database guy, even though I started Ruby/PostgreSQL
and Ruby/Interbase.  That's why new maintainers are wanted for
these projects.
