I vote for Genie . If it's as fast as Vala ( http://spekle.googlecode.com ), i'm sold. http://live.gnome.org/Genie ///// ///// ///// //// Genie is a new programming language, in the same vein as Vala, that allows for a more modern programming style while being able to effortlessly create and use GObjects natively. The syntax is designed to be clean, clear and concise and is derived from numerous modern languages like Python, Boo, D language and Delphi. Genie is very similar to Vala in functionality but differs in syntax allowing the developer to use cleaner and less code to accomplish the same task. Like Vala, Genie has the same advantages: Programs written in Genie should have have similar performance and resource usage to those written directly in Vala and C Genie has none of the bloat and overhead that comes with many other high level languages which utilize a VM (e.g. Python, Mono, Java) Classes in Genie are actually GObjects so Genie can be used for creating platform code like widgets and libraries where GObjects are required for binding to other languages ///// ///// ///// //// Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: Chris -- Any suggestions on generating VAPI's ( http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Bindings ) for the Vamp plugins SDK so they could easily be used fom vala/genie. Anybody else doing this? Any interest? I guess I should see how or what was done in http://vamp-plugins.org/vampy.html ?? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
