+5 too. What about supporting more languages for extensions instead? Lua seems interesting, there are other languages that couldbe supported too. I think LibO should be completely functional with all the features without the use of heavy dependencies like JVM. Also I think LibO should concentrate on being a lot more resource efficient without losing functionalities. This way slower machines will be able to run it like netbooks, mobile devices and specially those using ARM. Regards. On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 8:16 AM, shundread@gmail.com <shundread@gmail.com> wrote:
+4 on making Java optional. Personally, I prefer Python for writing extensions to programs as it usually results in smaller code and less legal uncertainty. Do we / Can we have the option of making LibO extensions in Python? -Thiago On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 6:19 AM, jonathon <toki.kantoor@gmail.com> wrote:-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 11/03/2010 12:08 AM, Christian Lohmaier wrote:+ Base HSQLDB backendThat would mean: ship a different database with by default,SQLite could easily be added.would still need that backend otherwise you'd introduce a major incompatibility with previous versions.Doesn't Base have its own independent database engine.
