Re: Portability, COM, and some interfacing
Yes, yes Robby, we know...
But we want it NOW!
hehe...
Nah we can't wait a month or three, four, in that time
someone can learn C and C++ and get moving.
Sure the Translator needs a serious lube-job, cos
frankly, it stinks (phew!!! beuuuh!!)...
It's still slower than the interpreter in many cases
(want proof? D/L 'tea_test.zip' from the recent user
contributions page).
The only benefit it woul)d have over the translator,
are the things you can do with C source wich you can't
with Eu source, and you haven't implemented that yet.
Don't develop the translator just for speed, but for
functionality.
People here are getting tired of not having the
features they want in Eu for this long a time, and
many don't even code in Eu for money, they do it for
hobby.
*ALL* we want is "Portability, COM, and some
interfacing".
That's it, no more than that.
Is that done, then Euphoria is done, period.
So...
get it done! ;)
