I think it has huge merit. We have a (crappy) kinda thing for this in NDB today (which we've casually talked about replacing with something sensible, although the realtime requirements do make it a bit more fun/challenging). I think we should certainly have the option - and monty and i have discussed wrapping all sorts of bits in swig so that you could create plugins that do all sorts of things in a managed language (and ship them around). -- Stewart Smith _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
