Indeed, it is a nice tool to have while we wait for the API, I should
have made this clear in my first post, sorry :)

As for using other languages, once the API is in place it would then be
possible to create bindings for those languages.

BTW, no need to send to robin.g.o and lists.g.o anymore, either will do.
