I just wanted to write how much I like scheme, that it is easy to learn in half an hour, but that non-mathematicans are shocked by its style and back away. So same advice from me. Better use a language that is (or is not) more complicated, but that users feel more comfortable with. I would suggest something like python or ruby, since they are popular. Is it feasible to restrict python to a dumb, secure compaign-script interpreter? I would like this, because I'm thinking about allowing python for normal glob2 code as well. I think boost has methods for python-c++ interfaces. I prefer c++, but many (especially young) people only know python. So improving glob2 might be as easy as allowing them to use the language they know. Is python a hype, or is it going to stay popular? I mentioned ruby, because I've heard it's very popular in japan. And I have the impression that we get no support from east asia. Are they using different linux distributions? or different online journals / wikis? Or do I have just a wrong impression? -- Kai Antweiler _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
