About the name "Pike"
It's the codename of a product in beta. When it's finalized we'll give it a different name. We're aware that there's a scripting language named Pike. We weren't aware of it when we chose the name. Thanks for all the respectful mail I've gotten on this. No flames, or threats, just "Are you aware?" type questions. Thanks for the good humor.
