Hi all, I read the thread, and I already see that it is not particularly going in the right direction. Why? Python vs. TCL is not the thing to be discussed here. Of course Python has a lot of very very useful bindings, and TCL is missing some, but, what about the knowledge in the team? And, yes, then Youness' remark about the python syntax.. he's totally right! So those bindings are probably the only pro for Python.
What bindings do we need? - D-BUS, that is for sure. I am curious if Jonne really has been working on that already. I have experimented with it too, and I think it can be done quite easily. Most difficult is the lazy typing in the Tcl core, which makes it difficult to find a reliable way to determine the type of a value. (The lazy typing means that the type is always 'string' until the value is used in some place that requires another type.) - GUI. It is hard to tell now what these should be like. Just like Youness I'd like to have no direct dependencies between the logic core and the GUI, but only events being fired and handled. The event system I proposed should be able to handle that. But still, there are some difficulties with that. Youness: About the Tcl Data Layer, I did not literally talk about it, but it is very much the same as the Telepathy client code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
