As a test yes, but not for the release. It's changing too fast
right now to maintain backwards compatibility, so including it would
cause more problems than it would solve.I am not sure, if it really changes, or if it only adds new features. I think the big problems (file naming, loader) are solved, but not
sure. I worked a lot with py/pyext and pdj in the past (which are also candidates for pdx), but pdlua is the only scripting tool that can easily integrate the language as a static library, because it is so small. maintainance should be easier than with python and java.And what about PHP, it would be nice to have access directly to this language with Pd, there is a lot of people knowing this language and it is useful with MySQL and with query for the web ? It is often installed on computer with Apache server and MySQL with LAMP, MAMP or WAMP. ++
I think in this case Lua really has some advantages over PHP. It is designed to be used as en embedded scripting and configuration
language. The source is extremely portable (99% ANSI C) and compact (compiler + runtime typically < 150Kb), and runs completely standalone without the need for other libraries.PHP might add too much overhead. It has a huge API for all kind of (mostly web-related) things, it is much harder to embed in existing applications, brings in tons of dependencies and is *much* bigger then Lua or TCL.
For me:
- there is no PHP/Tk, meaning total rewrite
- PHP is not meant to be embedded.
