Note that there's been some activity on python-dev between python- and
perl-developers, though most of this has been "uderstanding how python
works" (and also how perl works, for that matter) "to see if it's even
possible to combine". Some of the low-level discussion was taken offline,
though, but I'm not sure howmuch (I can only see what I get in my mailbox,
after all :)

Still, these aren't the grand discussions on design that will eventually
have to arise to get things going :) ESR promised to dive into Perl (and
Python alike) to start working on it, so I guess we'll hear from him.
