I can't help thinking that most of the ideas I have for future
development involve scary databases (even using sqlite) and that is
almost a complete u-turn from how things have been so far.
ie. the current code makes use of no non-core modules and tries
to be portable. My ideas for work mostly involve removing lots of
custom code and replacing it with HTML::Template, DBI::SQLite,
HTTP::Server, etc. That would make the code
a) Smaller
b) Simpler
c) Easier to understand, extend, and modify
But the downside is that there would suddenly be major portability
issues for windows people, as well as a bigger list of dependencies
for the Linux/Unix people too. Something that most people seem to
be against.
I can't see why people would be worried about decencies as lightweight
as Sqlite or additional Perl modules. I'd wager that that the vast
majority of Gnump3d users install using emerge, apt, yum, yast, up2date
or similar.
