The project I am proposing is your run of the mill application server. The 
biggest different is the support for multiple programming languages within the 
same box and even the same application. While this sounds like .Net, it does 
have two distinct differences:

1) The run time modules are tied to specific programming languages. This 
differs from the CLR which tried to understand and run all languages. Thus, the 
new application server will open itself up to new languages, like Ruby, if the 
language author writes the interperter conforming to a series of standards.

2) Any existng library module can be used in the application server. Instead of 
controling the library anything posted on the Internet can be used in an 
application. It will be up to the server admin to flag library modules as 
restricted or native code. Thus I can download all the hard work on CPAN and 
use it in my application.

The end goal is to create a single application server that can run Perl, 
Python, Ruby, C, C++, and Java on a single box. This will become the new glue 
of the 21st century enterprise.

It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.
