Chris Boget liked it anyway :-) True, coming from a C background I can attest to my love for the *printf series of functions. In fact, 6 years ago I might have actually liked Java more if they had bothered to add it (I've heard it's been added since). > PS - Robert Cummings, I totally agree with your general comments on > internals@ regarding migration/irritation/etc btw. and if I didn't > spend so much time on 'fixing' my working code I might have had time > to take a proper look at your InterJinn project - more's the pity > that I haven't been able to so far :-/ *lol* Might be good till I clean the docs up. Also I've been adding a flurry of stuff lately to support better inclusion of external resources like JavaScript. I want clean including of javascript modules within templates and modules such that requesting the resource never includes it twice and so that I have the same replaceable modularity that exists in InterJinn. Also I want to have dependencies managed internally rather than having to think about it myself. I guess I'm making a mini JavaScript InterJinn lib *lol*. This will tie in nicely with my work to bring in almost transparent XmlHttpRequest functionality.
