So, Greg, what *did* you mean by lightweight languages?

(I think a better name for what the workshop was about might
be "indy languages."  There is a definite change in where
programming languages come from in the last 10 years, 
comparable to what happened in music.  Languages used to
have to be sponsored.  Now there is more chance for a 
language to get traction on its own merits.)
