Niwa, hi,
CodeGenerator has already been rewritten in python, combining the following:
* Mozilla's xpcom xpidl.py generator
* gobject's codegen.py
The following work was done:
- The xpidl generator was modified to understand Webkit's IDL file format
- gobject's codegen.py was modified to
Apologies, the link is here:

I think the best way to make such points is to create a bug and post a patch.

I could have sworn I saw someone in another thread post that they were
interested in taking over maintenance of the binding generators (not
necessarily relating to a massive rewrite, just for ongoing maintenance, was my
impression). But I can't find that email at all now.
Does anyone know who

I retract my earlier statement. I think that the constraints here
between WebKit and blink are different enough that we should only
re-examine sharing code after both projects have had a chance to
re-write this subsystem to better fit their needs. We originally
imported these bindings generators

Hi,
Can we rewrite CodeGenerator*.pm in Ruby or Python? I feel that the
current code is very hard to understand and hack on. In particular we have

removed), and we need to merge them anyway.

Yeah, I'm planning (but in low priority) to rewrite it in Python after
cleaning up IDLs and code generators. The difficulty is that
CodeGenerator*.pm are not the only target for rewriting.

As a person who does not know any of Perl, Python or Ruby very well, I find
unfamiliar Python the easiest to understand (even though I have more experience
with Perl). I feel this would be worthwhile, if not necessarily a top priority.
I do hope that this could be done without undue increase

I've seen many people expressing their inability to improve the binding
code because of its being written in Perl.
Although I agree that the complexity of the binding code partly comes from
the fact that it's written in Perl, another big reason is that current code
generators are more

If a rewrite does happen, it would be nice to have some generic functionality
abstracted away from the specific language generators. For example, the
function to add an #include statement to the generated implementation file is
currently replicated for every language. JS and V8 have
