Bhaskar,
I was thinking of hard disk writes - a misinterpretation from talks
we've had, for which I gladly apologize.

I am not sure what core functions are not open source. Every last
line of source code for GT.M on x86 GNU/Linux has been released
under the GPL.
Note that we have chosen not to release the source code for GT.M on
other platforms under the GPL (it is available for a price to those
who license it, but not under GPL). But given that 100% of GT.M as
implemented on x86 GNU/Linux is GPL'd, what "core functions" were
you thinking of that are not open source?

Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] Language extensions in GT.M - a
possibility? a necessity? a bad idea?
Isn't this one of the reasons GT.M was kind enough to release the
source code, to allow the _community_ to produce changes/
improvements/additions?
Except for the very core functions that are not open-source, I
believe we have the technology. We can rebuild it. ;-)

If GT.M were to implement this, certainly someone would have to
fund it.
Perhaps a more generalized approach would be good, where GT.M
allows "plug-in" modules for language extension?
Then again, I think it already has ways to call into and out of
external languages, so perhaps it is already there.

I know this is a very general question, but given the level of
interest
in language extensions, I wonder if extending GT.M beyond the existing
ANSI standard is a possibility. Of course, updating the standard is
the
most desirable course, but is that an option?
Implementations such as Cache' offer extensions to the language that
are now verboten in VistA, and given the community's interest in
running VistA on GT.M, I would not want to see changes that were
incompatible with GT.M.
