I just haven't gotten around to converting it because there were a bunch of options and I want to make sure that we don't break any build scripts. >>> Haskell - ? >>> Cocoa - ? >>> Smalltalk - ? >>> Ocaml - ? >> There has been very little interest in these languages outside of the >> original authors, so I think they should still be considered the point >> people. > > I'm sure I'm going to piss off some people, but since those languages don't > have a mantainer and their paucity of tests, I would lower their priority (or > label them as unsupported) when the next version of Thrift is released.
