I'm not looking for a slash clone or something else to run on the microsoft platform. I want the challenge of converting slash to a different language on the MS platform. > No offence taken :) As far as porting it to some other language.... I can't even think of doing that, not because it's not something worth pursuing, but because it's distrationary to getting Slash improved and feature laden. Currently, we're feverishly working to get this project (2.2) released and stable. For this project, it's better that we focus on improving the existing code and adding features and other improvements. There are always a million other things to do, but if we don't focus on the project as a whole, we get distracted and nothing ever gets done. The language that the code is written is irrelevant - the functionality of the project is the paramount task. The best thing that anyone can do is to help us install, use, test, bugfix and whatever else, this code, and work with the language it's currently written in. This is not an endorsement of perl or detriment of another. It's pragmatism. > I hope none of the slash team take offence to this? > > On Wed, 6 Jun 2001 05:09:57 +0900, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda <ma...@sl...> wrote: > Allright, if people want to endorse other things besides Slash thats great, > > but I don't want that cluttering this list.
