And of course, we could try embedding other [open source] languages too,
where spec and source are publicly available. Most of them use BSD'ish
license. PostgreSQL has done it with Ruby, Perl, Python, Tcl. It should
not be overly difficult to do. Not all of them have sandboxing like
Java, but we could make those languages safer by cutting off some of the
language's insecure builtin features, like filesystem access, some OS
syscalls, etc.
