We can do all that here too.  However, if it does indeed get to the
point of literally planning a new programming language, it might be
time for a new group :-)  But it probably shouldn't have "ruby" in its
name.  ruby.internals and ruby.misc don't suggest a focus outside of
Ruby, and as for "beyond"... well, you'll have to write the language
first, and we'll see :-)
