To say that I was dissappointed to see such a unified distain for Python is a bit of an understatement. To put it simply, I was stuck. VC wasn't going anywhere, adding anything to the codebase was a torturous affair involving hammering the new feature in, while hoping that the rest of the system wouldn't collapse. Python solved that. So my choices seemed to be a) leave, b) do it anyway, and kill off what's left of VERGE's community or c) code the VC anyway, even though it made this more like a full-time job than any kind of source of personal enjoyment. Not very appealing options.

Then a few people in #vchelp began looking at the documentation. Thrasher in particular has been practically orgasming every few minutes over some aspect or other of the langauge. (and, frankly, I'm just as impressed as he is) He's not the only one either. Other people, probably "overhearing" (or whatever you want to call the IRC equivalent of such) the conversation, started looking themselves.

That said, it should be no surprise that I'm going to continue to use Python in v2.7. Before next weekend, (June 9th) I hope to release what should be the last v2.7 beta, and the first to use Python instead of VC. The first full release will occur some time after that.

"I can make it so much better, if I restart."

Not happening. ^_~ I'm perfectly happy with the engine itself, but the VC stuff was crap.

Caio! (sp?)
