[TxMt Plugins] plugin beginner questions

I am struggling with plugins, and I am at the very first begin, just
played with the clock demo.

I posted about this on normal textmate list, and now I discovered that
there is a specific plugin mailing list. I want to do better Erlang /
textmate integration, see details here:
http://www.rsaccon.com/2007/11/faster-interaction-between-erlang-and.html

What I want to do is subscribe to events when a textmate starts and
stops (or even  when a specific language grammar gets activated or
deactivated if that is possible) and when a document gets saved. And
in case of such events I want to run my custom code in C for starting
a Erlang VM in the background, Erlang compiling and other stuff. I am
not familiar with Objective C, nor with Cocoa, but I am familiar with
C, so I guess I  an figure out things ..

Is this possible at all ? Somebody can point me in the right
direction, for me figuring out how to do it ?

Does it make sense at all ? If with upcoming TextMate 2.0 things will
look completely different, just say "no".

regards
