Python!!?! i almost did a C | N > K (that would be cola, pepsi rather, through nose to keyboard)
ok ok ok ok although i almos-t ruined a perfectly free and good keyboard, i don't like python cause i don't know it, and the learning curve has been... dreadful.
Can't we do this in C?
I hope you meant C++, unless you think it's productive to do a poorly documented and bug-ridden reimplementation of half of C++ standard library* everytime you want to do something other than a hello world application.
Actually, for tools like wine doors it'd be more concise to do the logic in Lisp, rather than Python or C++. The problem is that wine-hackers-wise, I would bet we have way more people skilled in C++ than people skilled in Python than people skilled in Lisp, so methinks that C++ is the right way to go, just because of the sheer number of developers available
C++ (and Python) gives you an advantage of being able to directly** leverage Qt to have wine doors that can either work as a regular unix application, or a windows application under wine itself. Heck, it'd work just fine on Intel Mac boxen, and on PPC Mac boxen whenever wine will utilize some emulator platform.
Cheers, Kuba * yes, it's a slightly modified quote from somewhere else ;) ** as opposed to say doing only the GUI in C++ and logic in Lisp
