Indeed. Not wanting to start any religious wars on programming languages and environments here, but I have seen similar things happen with other projects - a tool/language/environment is chosen (in the cases I have seen, it's been either perl or php) that is good for an initial version, and then features are added, the architecture grows - but the language/tools don't really scale and aren't really up to supporting such a complex piece of software, and the patches start growing patches of their own... I think the important thing would do would be to gather as much information as we can in the wiki about the protocol, so that LMS can be rewritten in a compiled language. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Julf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98179 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
