Would you consider doing one in Groovy?  How about JRuby?  I would also
like to see ones in LUA, Delphi, and Haskell.

When IronRuby is released by Microsoft, I will try to do one in that
language.   It is analagous to IronPython -- in this case, a full Ruby
implementation built on the .NET platform.
