That's looking increasingly like a dependancy on The DBMS With an O In Its Name ;-). There is merit to redoing parts of Slony in a language less nasty about threading and string manipulation than C, but that's not nearly the same thing as saying "sure, port to Java!" (If Go ran on more than x86, ARM, x86_64, I might wonder about it as an option...) Also, JavaScript != Java. They are quite separate languages, and the fact that both contain "Java" in their name misleads people to imagine they are rather more related than they are. -- (reverse (concatenate 'string "ofni.sailifa" "@" "enworbbc")) Christopher Browne "Bother," said Pooh, "Eeyore, ready two photon torpedoes and lock phasers on the Heffalump, Piglet, meet me in transporter room three" _______________________________________________ Slony1-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slony.info/mailman/listinfo/slony1-general
