** It should be noted that I'm by no means even remotely competent, especially in JS.

Design goals:
  load as little as possible, as infrequently as possible
  avoid the overhead of forking a new process for each request 
    ..and having to manage these processes - Merb workers go rogue all the time, which is annoying as hell
  take advantage of the already sandboxey nature of v8
  clean up the application global namespace a little
  protect Geddy's global namespace from getting clobbered 
  use whatever libraries / core extensions in either Geddy OR the app without fear of conflicts 


Geddy:
  utils // opts parser, inflections, etc...
  plugins // db adapter, session store, template engines, etc...
  // load app code (see App below)
  httpServer.start() // & set up event listeners

App:
  app = new Script(config_hash, 'app.js') // sets config, compiles routes, waits as bytecode to be executed with params
  

When a request comes in:
  sandbox.params = utils.parse(params) // parse params
  sandbox.session = plugins.session.load()
  sandbox.request = client.request
  sandbox.response = { headers:null, body:null, code:null }
  // etc.....
  app.runInNewContext(sandbox)
  
  client.send(sandbox.response) // dump response down the pipe

When files in the app directory change:
  app = new Script(config_hash, 'app.js') // next request will use the new, pre-compiled app code object
