I'm about ready to put a lot more eyes on it, if there's any interest. So, is there?
Hi Sean, I think this is a great idea. You've certainly got my full support. I can set up an SVN repository when you're ready for it and hand out commit bits to those who want them. Any advice or information you need, just shout. Part of my long-term plan for TT has always (tentatively) included ports to other languages. Python, Ruby, PHP, Javascript (runtime, like Jemplate) and C are all possible candidates. But I wanted to fix the things that were broken in the Perl version first. And that's where TT3 comes in... My current plan for the next few months (modulo Steinbeck[*]) is to finalise the design/implementation for TT3, working through each sub-section at a time (e.g. front-end, configuration, context, providers, templates, parser, etc). I'll either write/update design documents (or apocalypses in Perl6 style) or write a reference implementation in Perl, or some combination of the two. So that might be a good opportunity to develop the Perl and Python ports of TT3 roughly in parallel. But I don't want to discourage you from pressing ahead with a TT2 port in the mean time. I must admit, I don't usually do Python (I could never get over the indent thing). But I guess it's a chance for me to learn more about it. Cheers A [*] John Steinbeck. Of Mice and Men.
