Re: pattern matching

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

WOW!!  I use PERL all the time for Internet programming and PERL's pattern
matching is incredibly concise and powerful.  I've seen claims from some
pretty credible people that with PERL one can code pretty much anything 5 to
7 times faster than in C and from personal experience I'd say that is the
case (for me so far, anyhow).

Therefore, considering that eventually we'll see something like a Euphoria
cross-platform server (like Apache perhaps?) I'd think that having such
pattern-matching capabilities would be valuable.  However, I don't know if
there is a rush for them -- that will be determined by other responses by
other folks I guess.

Quite honestly David, your development time in Euphoria is such a KEY thing
for the whole Euphoria community that I hope others with far more of a
"Euphorian" perspective will truly consider what your time might best be
spent on and make suggestions, and hopefully find something that you want to
do that is, at the same time, urgent... it may be that a pattern-matching
widget is needed more than other widgets...

As always, thanks!!
