[Arsperl-users] Future of ARSperl

[Misi M. <mi...@rr...>]

Hi,

This is not very well thought through, but it seems time that something happens.

Someone at ARSlist said he had just replaced all ARSperl code with
Inline::Java calls to the Java API.

Maybe it is time to dump the C-API and wrap ARSperl aginst the Java API instead?

We would save a lot of hassle with the 64-bit version in any event.

I have also thought about only wrapping some core calls instead of the entire
API. The problem here seems to be to draw the line somewhere. I suspect that
most of us only use 10% of the API calls. Probably less than that.

But if we can let people access the Java API if an unusual function is needed,
maybe we could implement 10% of the calls only.
