I might be in a strange and careless mood today, but here is something I
wanted to suggest since the time I saw the amount of logic that goes into
SSSD and is implemented in C.
What if we implement some of the complicated logic inside SSSD in Lua [1]?
can you tell us what features of Lua do you like and might help simplify
SSSD? I don't know the language, just fast scrolled over the manual and seen
few examples. It seems to be similar to javascript.
Most of all, I like its simplicity, then flexibility. And then how easy it is
to embed. The latter comes from simplicity, first of all.
I listed the features I think will help us in the other message in this
thread, but here they are again and then some:
* exception handling
(somewhat rudimentary, but workable)
* automatic memory management
(incremental mark-and-sweep with good controls, customizable allocator)
* easier data massaging
(string operations, built-in (limited) regexes, etc.)
* brevity
(implicit dynamic typing, syntax sugar)
* OOP support
(there are several libraries to choose from)
I don't know enough JavaScript to really compare, but to me knowing that it
has two pairs of equality operators [1] is quite off-putting.
There is, however, a seemingly good comparison, which should give the general
idea:
