We'll need D-BUS bindings, and probably no more. The latest e-mails on the thread about the 'Second Draft' give the clue how to avoid complete GUI toolkit bindings for TCL. > - old, outdated, unpopular language (this means it's harder to capture > young and bright hackers who are interested in better and more popular > languages) > - In aMSN2, the main advantage of using TCL/TK (cross platform, no > compilation), is long gone. > > ------ PYTHON PROS in aMSN2 ---------- > - new popular and active language (this means many more hackers will > probably join the project) > - opportunity to expand our skills and learn something new and better This can be good or bad (some may find it a burden rather than an opportunity) > - all required bindings are available, maintained and distributed > - faster development than TCL or most any other languages Any motivation for that? > - object oriented language That's a real pro indeed. > - cross-platform > > ------ PYTHON CONS in aMSN2 ---------- > - Weird indentation (very bad reason) Not the best reason maybe, but also not 'very bad'. I want to see the ending of a block not just by the indentation going back one level, but also some block closing mark, like the } in C. > - Must learn new language (not necessarily a bad thing) But it will take some time before development gets going.
