Surprise! It's written in Mono! I was wondering about whether I could use it on the XS to replace my PHP implementation of the DS reader (which already handles version "0" and 1 of the DS :-) ) but Mono is a bit of a monster of a dependency to bring in. C or Python would have been much better :-( Leaving all the language wars aside (as neither C nor Python are particular favourites of mine), my pragmatic head says: We are already paying the price for a huge runtime in Python. Let's make good on that "investment". Large runtimes are generally not a good match for a fast, snappy and modern desktop, but as long as we keep it down to one runtime, we pay once and collect the benefits (in much faster development) so I hope we can stick to one runtime. This is a cool project, and I am sure it is interesting and useful outside the Sugar stack itself. But somewhat ill-suited for building Sugar and XS tools -- maybe I had my hopes up on something it wasn't meant to be :-( cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
