Orders of magnitude greater efficiency in the development cycle, and not a huge difference in speed for many operations. Remember that 90% of the code being executed in Rev is highly-optimized C++, with your scripts acting as a glue between these compiled routines. And as far as the scripts themselves, Scott asserts that his bytecode is significantly more efficient than Java, and certainly the subjective experience confirms that. In a recent comparison on another list which deals with a allegedly compiled lower-level language, a task was handed out as a comparson: make an index of all words in the New Testament. In Rev it was seven lines that ran in 6 seconds. In the lower-level language it was more than 50 lines and took 12 seconds. I've had many reviewers assume WebMerge was written in C++, and their mostly correct. :) -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Developer of WebMerge: Publish any database on any Web site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
