A new programming environment

Any of you who know me would know how big of a fan I am of the  Mozilla Desktop application framework. While I've found the highly XML driven JavaScript backed platform to be idea for cranking out service oriented desktop applications (and other types of desktop applications), I at one point had the thought a similar evnironment might be nice for web service and server side tool development. So, I spent the weekend a few weekends ago going through mozilla trying to get XPCOM, DOM, SOAP, etc out of Mozilla...I found, however, that it is virtually impossible to disentangle all of those things from xpfe. So I had another idea, one that was lighter weight and cut less corners...

Sagot, tagalog for "answer" or "response", is a light weight programming environment. It's development is moving very slowly currently, but the basic idea is such.

Provide an object oriented interface to  glib, which is the multitasking framework  GTK is built atop of. Second, provide interfaces to LibXML2 and LibXSLT, GDOME, and then SOAP/XML-RPC interfaces...and stuff it in a web server.

If this project gets completed is completely up to a whole bunch of outside influences, but currently I see no reason to stop development and the multitasking API is well underway.
