Would be cool if it were javascript (it's OCaml), with nodejs I guess...

The fact that it's not an everyday "job language" should really entice your inner "programming pervert"; hard to explain, but there is something erotic about seeing fringe languages in industrial applications. I would happily setup a SAP cluster if it had, say, a Forth repl hidden in one About box. I wasted countless hours in Excel, which I abhor, after it was mentioned in some numeric computing paper. And is there a better opportunity, on a boring weekend, than an oopsing Unix box with nothing critical on it :-)

Don't hesitate to delight yourself, no one will do it for you.

It targets javascript with Jake Donham's ocamljs.
