Seems FFI is the main blocker for Slate now, right?

I also think Slate has a great potencial as a object oriented web 
(application) server.

Yes.

I think that's false. You can develop primitives without FFI, in fact, Slate 
is full of primitives, including those for accessing Files and Directories, 
and they are developed without FFI. Am I wrong ? can anybody correct me ?

> Is FFI waiting for something too?
Yes, a developer ;)

Can anybody tell me some docs I could read to understand FFI ? Ken Causey, I 
know you've been working in FFI, can you tell us what you've done, and can 
you share it with us ?

Thanks.
