the problem is that we then have to maintain 2 vm's and 2 scripting engines for edje - admittedly lua is externally worked on, but we need to support bindings etc. keeping embryo would imho be a transition phase where things are moved/ported to lua (and both work for a while) and eventually embryo is dropped to save us work. > thanks. > > P.S. eina looks VERY promising! > -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
