How hard is it to install Ruby on Windows, or Mac, and use it from our ports of gEDA and PCB ? I think "readily available on all platforms" is just as important as "many people know how to use it" and "it meets our technical needs". ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Implement a parser that reads a file into such a structure. I might try this for PCB->Perl just for fun. Hmmm... PCB needs the concept of an "importer HID" too, I think.

I don't mind if more than one person chooses to show an implementation of this.

Seriously -- I am not too happy that Python is praised, but Ruby is mentioned only a few times here. Both languages are very similar. Python is more popular in western countries, one reason is that it was available earlier here, why Ruby started in Japan. Ruby is more popular for web development, while Python is stronger in scientific world, numpy, mathplotlib ... ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
