i'd chuck my hand in with limbo.  my first limbo module:

    http://www.planete.net/~boyd/code/pop.bundle

[a pop3 client] took about 3 hours to write, with a few beers
and a bit of coaching from brucee.

i was amazed.  garbage collected fd's -- wow...

i think a small amount of 'worms' was played at the same time.

the original, written in C, took several days (excluding a night
in a pub in york designing it and thinking up a method to minimise
the password winding up in a core dump -- taunton dry blackthorn
cider was required).
