Actually, there's a much simpler approach.

We've got a product that can run javascript(rhino), ruby(jruby),
php(quercus), java(janino), python(jython) as events, and velocity,
freemarker, and php as templates.  You can also run any standard servlet.

So, why invent some unique interface to connect separate processes
together, when you can just run these languages all inside java, and can
call java classes, methods, and objects directly?
