I'm sorry too. But I feel that libh's pseudo-existence is more a nuisance right now. The architecture of libh is a bit too big and has this exact problem of putting its hands in too many pieces (as some people have pointed out before). It's really hard to "get into" libh, even for people that actually worked with it before. So libh is always brought back as that "effort in progress" precluding other efforts to build up, the way I see it. So I'm thereby stopping the discourse of saying "libh development is slow". It's stopped. I'd like to see libh's concept recuperated in a fresh implementation instead of the current one, especially since we now have SWIG and don't need to implement our own TCL magic! :) If I ever work again on libh, it'll be a rewrite. That should prove interesting. ;) A. Jordan K Hubbard wrote: >Sorry to hear you say that.
