Re: [Sooc-devel] why Sooc?

[Dan R. <sta...@gm...>]

Are you talking about code from a "real," third-party project or something
that you or I have worked on?
Aside from that, I believe I have told you before that I have always thought
that some sort of official sample program should be part of the overall Sooc
project.  Such a program would be useful in order to demonstrate the
structure of a Sooc program as well as the usefulness of the library in
general.  Consequently, I am all for your idea.

I think, ideally, at some point, we should have a program written in several
different languages, such as C/Sooc, C++, Java, and Objective-C.  One might
even consider throwing traditional C or C/Glib in there (you know, just for
fun).  But the idea would be to provide a reasonable comparison across
programming techniques.
