wsdlpull - A nice looking C++ library for invoking and interacting with web services.

This would be great, and was what I was hoping for, that you could write web services in whatever language you like (say Java, Python or C++) and then interact with them in any language, and through a variety of methods. It's what we've been working towards for a long time, and it's nice that things are finally starting to come together. I'm not a language bigot, I think that all languages have their place, from Haskell to Java and from Forth to Lisp, sometimes it just makes more sense to code in Lisp, and sometimes it makes more sense to do something in C. This isn't even accounting for taste or level of comfort with a language. With things like web services, we'll be able to leverage work done in any language with any other language, and that's A Good Thing.
