A Perl Back End

The IPython Notebook doesn't have to use Python as the back-end process: they've defined a JSON-based protocol for communicating with arbitrary processes, and people have already built a replacement back-end in Julia (and are working on one in R). There are lots of Perl programmers in science; a Perl back-end would probably get a lot of love.
