The reason for the rewrite to C(++) of common used tools within OSM (api server/editor) is purely performance and not a prototype language like Python, Ruby. Or a language that is cross platform but is memory hungry as Java. Next to this. I don't know if you actually try to setup an API server yourself ;) But I think you will be shocked how much time the 'official' builds will take you ;) Yes I am biased, but also capable to setup a new server within the download time of the planetfile ;) Stefan _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
