Being that a lot of Whimsy involves file manipulation, running svn and
git commands, and using the LDAP API, those are probably the key areas
to get familiar with for the relevant programming language. Ruby has a
lot of neat syntax for executing commands like a shell (similar to
Perl in that regard

I’m also leaning towards node. Random ruby CGI scripts aren’t a big deal
