But it's using gnu guile, version 2 of which should support multiple
languages. It's expected to get released with scheme, javascript and lua
support last I checked, and maybe with Emacs Lisp support too.

So who want to open bets for Parrot versus Guile2? More seriously
though, it could be that our best bet to have pl/js is plscheme and
guile2.
