Wouldn't it be lovely if all the functionality of R, Octave and Python 
were available using familiar syntax.  Throw in Perl for string 
manipulation and Tk for GUI.

If we retarget all of these packages to mono (or parrot if it's not 
dead yet) it will be faster than rewriting them in Octave.  I see that 
Python and Tcl are already started:
