Why would you like to use Perl only for prototyping and then move to Java? What are the benefits of Java for you, especialy when you not already know java well? > So the question: Gerald, when when when will this be > stable? What is your estimate? (Sorry if it's > documented somewhere and I missed it.) Sorry, no exact estimates. I am currently doing a lot of code cleanup, throw away old Embperl 1 code, reorganizing the internal data structures, moveing parts of the Perl code into C to speed up calls the Execute and creating a Perl interface to all the objects/structures Embperl uses internaly. This gives a lot new possibilties for writing better and easier code by separation of code and desgin and allows to extent Embperl easily with Perl. This will be in b6, maybe parts of it in b7. After this I don't plan to do much an the Embperl core, but add some extentions like form validation and multi language support. When enough people have tested this I will make a stable release. This maybe in three month, but it highly depend on my personal workload, on the number of good ideas people have for 2.0. Having said this, 2.0b5 works fine for me and I already using it in production. > > Also, of course, let me know what I can do to help. Ideas, bug reports and patches are always welcome. Especialy when b6 is out I would be happy if many people testing it, so we will find the remaing bugs fast and release it as stable version.
