I'd certainly be more likely to work on it if it were in c++. But then, someone would have to do a multi-platform build system, there would have to be a whole layer of code littered with #ifdef _linux_, etc, and we all know how fun that is. It'd probably get an efficiency boost, though.
Porting it to java seems like a waste to me, as I don't see that the efficiency gains would be all that great. But really, I'm not sure why it would be rewritten. Has it been profiled and determined to be too inefficient based on the language? Rewriting a large scale application just for the fun of it or because one has an aesthetic aversion to the language it's written in (which I certainly have) doesn't seem like a particularly good idea to me. -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30328 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
