Pedro,

Please submit this to LPW this year, I think that this is just the type 
of talk i would love to have presented, there is a large part of our 
community that values learning about the aspects of other programming 
languages we don't understand, relate to, or perhaps know. A workshop is 
an -ideal- place for that.

Look forward to seeing the submission, this Friday is the closing date :)

Regards

Mark
