Yes, but on the other hand there aren't so many complicated scripts.. I'd also guess that many scripts need only minimal changes. The languages have some similarities, and again, since scripts are simple the effort is small. > and how many people know lua as compared to tcl? I'd guess fewer. I guess this number is roughly the same for both lua and tcl within the OpenOCD developer community. I've used both lua and tcl, but I haven't used tcl since the mid 1990s and I have absolutely zero interest in freshening up on tcl in order to work with OpenOCD. Lua on the other hand is more interesting. It's a big plus that it was designed for embedding from the ground up, and that the canonical implementation is clean C also written for embedding. //Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
