I've been thinking about using Haskell for this; all other (non-lispish) OO 
languages rather pale in comparison to Ruby for me now, so I'm thinking it 
would be interesting to use a functional language for this -- go the whole 
nine yards and try to get the most out of the different platforms.  My only 
concern is that I'm not sure how well it would mesh, if you know what I 
mean.
