I don't see at all the advantage of using a different, less used language. I 
don't know many people looking forward to learn a new language that is quite 
specific to one software and used more or less nowhere else.

One big reason I like to use ClamAV is that it's possible to add other sources 
of signatures. Lots of people use the sanesecurity ones. I add a lot of my own. 
I suppose there's a big amount of people who would love to add more (ie YARA) 
sources.

Is the goal for KDL to replace all of the existing ClamAV formats? I guess the 
transition would be a whole lot of effort from a LOT of people.

I love the idea of weak indicators. But then, I'd like to have a more fine 
grained result in case of a hit. Something less binary but more something like 
a score. So that the amount of false positives could be more chosen. This would 
mean my paranoid customers could be as happy as the ones jumping to the roof at 
the first FP.

Best regards,
