In addition note that one can write code in any language which has or can have access to the GIMP PDB ( see https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Hacking:Plugins_v3 ) and they will all be able to call each others' procedures. In addition to Scheme and Python, there are C plugins and there was gimp-perl in the past as well, and there can be others. For some of the advantages of Lisp-like languages, see: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NO83wZVT0A * http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html As you may be aware, both Scheme and Python are turing-complete ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness ). > _______________________________________________ > gimp-developer-list mailing list > List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx > List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list > List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list -- Shlomi Fish https://www.shlomifish.org/ https://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/projects/fortune-mod/ “Talk Like a Pirate Day” is the only day of the year when Chuck Norris only talks like a pirate, and does not actually act like one. — https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/bits/facts/Chuck-Norris/ Please reply to list if it's a mailing list post - https://shlom.in/reply . _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
