As far as Oasis goes, if not Oasis, then what? Last time I looked, the olc code that comes with the stock distro was pretty much an idea with a few shards of code clinging to the skeleton. Oasis might not be everyone's bread and butter, but it does seem to work and be fairly mature and well-tested. If the designers have something else waiting in the wings, excellent! Drop us a few breadcrumbs if you get the chance, but if not I'd go with what works and is apparently quite popular. > > I'd much rather see an embedded script interpreter for > a language such as ECMAscript/javascript, or even > (eww) perl or java. > > Actually, I think it'd be really neat to have something of > an embedded lisp interpreter to handle special procedures > (or perhaps "pluggable interpreters" so implementors could > choose to embed whatever script interpreter or none if > they so choose): I agree 100% with that idea. Why force the decision of a particular scripting language when no matter which one you pick, 75% of the people won't like it. Just like a database (Postgres anyways), I'd like to see lists of supported languages where you can add/delete them at runtime. If you write a script in python (for example) and the mud it gets loaded on doesn't have a python interpreter available, then the script just doesn't run and spits out a warning to that effect. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
