So I reckon Javascript is the way to go, at least from a protocol
standpoint. Now how we expose this in remote client APIs (Java, Python,
etc) needs some thought, but at first glance it would seem as though we
won't have a direct mapping to what we do on the embedded side of things.
E.g.,
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MapReduce
Actually, using javax.script, we could default to Javascript (which is
included in every Java6 implementation out there) but also be able to
specify alternatives via a mimetype. In this way one could use any of the
JSR 223 languages (Jython, JRuby, Groovy, etc).
