My "to do" list includes a shared library so other applications can call it= for scripting purposes. Currently, it's a standalone program so it's call= able as such (e.g. Linux system() / exec() / environment variables). I dro= pped the priority on that to strengthen the core language first. As far as ports go, Windows is probably best tackled with cygwin. OS/X sho= uld be relatively painless: take the "bush_xxx" and update it accordingly. = I have an old ppc Mac with OS/X and I was going to try a port but, you kno= w, I could spend a lifetime adding features. I remember an old prof who sa= id that anyone who wrote a language had too much free time on his hands. I'll make a note to revisit the shared library idea before the next release= . I want to compare how Lua and JNI do it first. How important is a shared library? Anyone else want me prioritize one? Regards, Ken B.
