Hi Mark, I got excited about the possibilities so I tried to port Drools over about 6 months ago and got hung up for all of the reasons you have mentioned....
I would like to point out (as I experiment w/the AlphaPad Android 4 Tablet -> wholesale from China) that the 'new' up and coming Android tablets really 'do' have plenty of processing power and capacity to handle the Rete Algorithm. I have ported Prolog to the Android platform (B&N Color Nook) and as long as it's loaded 'properly' it runs plenty fast. I also suspect that the corporate market would have some hidden (but quite profitable) uses for Drools on the Android Tablet Platform, as I think the flood of Cheap high quality Tablets that I think China will flood the US market with, is inevitable. I live in the Netherlands (X-Pat from Chicago), so we get to see some of these trends before they hit the mainland. Just food for thought, and congrats on a great product! :-) -matt **************** On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 10:24 PM, Mark Proctor <mproc...@codehaus.org>wrote: > currently drools relies on runtime code generation, and our architecture > is built around that.
