The goal is to be language independant, but if possible I'd like to use Ruby objects (from 'C') inside the server.  This should make it easy to extend the server with Ruby as well.  Midgard itself will continue to be written in 'C'.

I'm more interested in making sure that existing Ruby apps run within Midgard.  If somebody has written an inventory application in Ruby, for example, he should be able to use the pages from the inventory application as layout elements within Midgard.

I'll take a look at that too.  Thanks.
