Although I find Oz very nice, I find it hard to stop just reading tutorials or docs, and actually start really programming. I do not program in other languages neither.
Anyway, at some point I told myself I should avoid trying to understand more difficults aspects (like constraint programming) before beginning to program something. And I thought I should just try to take a program, and port it to Oz. I thought of porting Jabber client to Oz. Or, Jabber protocol of Gaim. But then, I realized, translating C or C++ to Oz, seems not so obvious. Much about pointers stuff just don't seems to make sense in Oz. Then I decided to go read Jabber specs (RFC 3920), and then began to think most clients probably use TLS. I thought at some points I could do TLS stuff directly in Oz, but I now thinks it would be most reasonable to write wrappers for a C or C++ TLS library, that would make TLS usable from Oz. So I mostly write this message to make sure no one already working on this, to avoid uselessly redoing the same stuff. I am not much at ease with this C++ wrapping, and so advise is welcome. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - I mean, what is it about a decent email service? _________________________________________________________________________________ mozart-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.mozart-oz.org/mailman/listinfo/mozart-users
