Ha. That is very cool. You can easily just rewrite that for PHP and probably Ruby too and have working native interfaces.
I updated my Gist to work with your examples. I had to update Gremlinpy because I didn’t define __ correctly (thanks! this was a fun challenge). https://gist.github.com/emehrkay/68a9e64789826f6a59e8b5c837dd6ce4 <https://gist.github.com/emehrkay/68a9e64789826f6a59e8b5c837dd6ce4> > On Apr 19, 2016, at 11:55 PM, Marko Rodriguez <okramma...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > >> I think adhering to the Gremlin-Java interface is a great idea exactly for >> the reasons that you stated. >> The main reason that I didn’t map one-to-one with the native interface is >> because I wasn’t too sure how to do so, I knew that there was a lot of >> method overloading which isn’t possible in either of the languages that I >> wrote this in (Python/PHP), and I figured this approach would be more >> flexible with regard to changes in the language (to make it TP3 all I had to >> do was define all of the predicates check for them when they’re passed into >> functions). > > Check this out.
