Compare them to AL and make a list of the features that are missing. Ask nicely for developers to implement the features or offer a bounty. I once looked at what would need to be done to tX to get it to perform like AL and the only thing missing in terms of interface was a sample grid the could be used to trigger the samples. Most of the infrastructure is in place already.
