Egmont, Thanks for composing this excellent reply. I actually composed one myself (a much, much shorter one) before going on-line. I combed it to see what I could salvage out of it but I see that you've got all the main points. Now, mc^2 isn't perfect. API in a scripting language poses many challenges (which you mentioned, and Szabó Gergely too). These are certainly issues we'll have to think about. It's certainly possible that people will conclude that mc^2 in its present form is garbage, but at least it provides us with a path we can work on. > > did you just rewrite half of mc No, it's not a rewrite. (That's the short answer. The sources (under the 'src/lua' tree) seem big at first glance, but that's mainly because they have documentation embedded in them. There are files with just 10% of actual code.) _______________________________________________ mc-devel mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
