I was a little puzzled when I first read the announcement, but after reading
the FAQ I think it sounds like a great idea! People who are comfortable with
perl will be able to create complete through the web Products in perl/dtml.
People who are big fans of python aren't forced to use those Products, but I
think you can bring a lot of people into the Zope fold with this.

Can Active Server Pages and VBScript be far behind? :)
