Ruby on Javascript VM?

Sometimes you need to take a step back from a problem, to see the forest for the trees. GeekWeaver was being held up by something that seemed a rather complicated knot; one that I’ve wrestled with a number of times but never really untangled to my satisfaction. So last night I decided to restart with…

Sweet Expressions … great idea for making S-Expressions more like other, more readable programming languages without losing their power (such as generality, macros, quasiquoting, homoiconicity, and easily-manipulated program fragments). Hat-tip Folknology

Wow! I need to get into Buildout. Update : Good blog-post accompaniment

Somehow I feel I should be exploring WikidBase Looks clever … and in Python.
