Hi Michael,
yeah i have played about with python and read with interest the stackles =
stuff. Some neat technology. However as good as python is for rapid =
developement it has one VERY serious drawback, and thats its speed. Now =
before i get flamed, I know stackless is a bit faster that normal 2.0 =
python but its still REALLY REALLY slow compared to Java ( which is not =
exactly a speed demon ) and of course c/c++. Would u not be better =
using your own custom language for inserver scripting that you can tweak =
to the nth degree ?? Problem with embedding python is because its a =
general purpose language you take all the speed compromises that that =
entails, decisons made by some one else without knowledge in your =
domain. It takes more effort of course but could well yield better =
results. How about inventing a new language specifically for MMORGS :-)
BTW i dont think the microthreads implementation on windows is the same =
concept as python, they are simply light threads with less start =
up/shutdown and context switching over head. They dont have anything to =
do with continuations ala python ( as far as i am aware ).
However it sounds like the deployment platform is some custom unix box, =
so its all academic :-) =20
BTW2 Have you looked at ACE by Doug Schmidt at Washington Uni ?? That =
would provide u with common comms layer on many unix and windows =
platforms. Its a nice piece of kit.
Regards
Tom
