Today its hard to make a project successful unless you create interfaces
for others to join or use a service. JSON is a very easy format which is
implemented in all languages I know. If you ever have tried creating
xmlrpc stuff you know that generating JSON can be simpler. So I want to
use it for two reasons:
- interface with external applications (because I don't know urweb
enough to recode everything in it)
- provide interfaces for other users. Letting users do what they want
can be a way to be successful.
I'm thinking that the most pragmatic way forward is to build a
parsing/pretty-printing tool that takes as input a description of a
protocol and then outputs (as text) the Ur/Web code for participating in
it. Alternatively, you could even output C/JavaScript code for
efficiency. How does that sound? It requires no knowledge of any
existing compiler's implementation.
I mask out the tests when building distributions for a reason: a lot of
them don't compile anymore. :-)
I learned something from them. Its worth keeping them up to date. There
is not much ur code at the momemnt. If you understand all test
cases you know that you learned something about a language.
I feel that time spent on that would be even better spent writing a
tutorial, which I'm still putting off. So, if I feel like doing this
kind of thing, it will be in the latter form.
