It's lua based. Looks great according to the screenshots (and probably in better shape than the proposed prototype by folks with pc-sysinstall with the web interface), but it ain't gonna happen unless core/other folks central to the project agree to adding another interpreted language in to base. I doubt that it would be a drop in place working prototype though given that geom is a lot different between DragonFlyBSD and FreeBSD.
Feel free to prove me wrong :).
