Although I see your point, that actually wasn't my point. My point was 
that I felt we need a good well respected (and dare I say *hot*) new 
language that was truly OO and could be run as a trusted/untrusted pl 
language.

I agree.

Not directly but indirectly it does because for me at least, what drove 
my negotiations was that plPython is an OO language that I enjoy but 
can't use the way I want. pl/Ruby is an OO language that i enjoy that I 
*CAN* use the way I want.
