This looks like an interesting approach. Could be a step in the right direction, but I have a hard time seeing what actual “real” value it will bring (basically since I do not know enough about it).

Will the engine be generic and decoupled enough to be able to easily port it to Java? Is the weaver pluggable?

Please write/blog something about this when it is more ready.
