Re: [Neko] Question about extending nekovm (serverside)

[Nicolas Cannasse]

hi after making first steps with neko I have a question about extensibility. Now if you want to use OS function you have to use c code from the specific OS api. I have no experiences in compiler / interpreter / runtime ... construction but I think  to build a rich framework that compares with java or .net means a lot of work. So what about the option of embedding an existing framework like mono? I would like to try something like this (http://www.mono-project.com/Embedding_Mono) But I think it would be some work for me, so if you think this makes no sense, then I will not try it. thanks ben Hi Ben,   Embedding the NekoVM makes perfectly sense. In fact, the VM is really small so you can easily embed+extend it. You need first to read about the C FFI documents in order to understand how to extend the VM (if you want). And then have a look at the Neko Virtual Machine documentation (embedding the VM).   Neko is not a framework in the sense that it doesn't help you structure your application. It provides some tools ( virtual machine, libraries....) that can be reused or not. You don't have to follow any specific guidelines and you can rollup your own integration stack.   Nicolas
