Hello.
I wanted to throw out my interest to gain like contacts in SL/libSL
developments. Specifically at this time, the LSL compiler to LSO and
CIL. I heard someone worked on it, but I haven't gotten their name.
While LL does have programs to compile LSL likewise, LL has shown in
recent roundtables to extend to the hand to entrepreneurs to create a
development environment external to the SL client. LibSL is useful to
communicate between such an external development environment and SL servers.
The LSL compiler is a more immediate project. The CIL relation is
practical and implementable now, but it is still visionary. As you ask
what does it have to do with it, that depends on how far down the rabbit
hole you want to go. For example, there is some talk on this list about
sim server development. A VM besides Mono's or .NET's may be desirable.
On Babbage's blog, it was stated that in was not easy to encapsulate a
CIL program's state into a packet to transfer to another sim as objects
move from sim to sim. That would explain why only one SL sim runs Mono
at this time. The VM I have may demostrate a solution to that.
Otherwise, it may provide the potential to host a local sim. These are a
few ideas.
The LSL compiler is one thing I understand because of my work with VMs.
You see, I have this VM that I have worked on for about 20 years. The
only major use it had was incorporated into automated loan system that
processed 5 billion US dollars worth. (perhaps much more by now since
departure from that agency) I hate to see it die. There have been many
revision since then. The current version runs either stand-alone or
under an apache2 server (think of a wiki where you edit code instead of
text document).
Sincerely, my dream job would be along the lines of what SL is doing
now, so I'm thinking here and throwing out ideas. =)
