I accidentally hit send early. Anyway, I was talking to a developer friend who didn't know C, but knew php, and was explaining how he can work with much of the code he was a bit intimidated by because the memory handling and the fancy pointer stuff is outside the main business logic, so it isn't much harder to read than php where the non-framework and boilerplate stuff is, anyway. And your tools seem to have that is a goal, which is great. I would review the code, anyway, so the fact that he wouldn't really know what he was doing 100% isn't a big concern, and it would probably be fun for him to have a hand in the C stuff.

I looked at all the languages that were fun to work with and asked myself whether I was capable to take that fun into standard C. I wrote the library to fit my personal needs, so no I don't aim at deploying this as enterprise framework code, which would be... a bit creepy, since I do *not* know how well it fits security standards or any particular purpose blah blah. The thought process is, I let you laugh just that much, quite the same as if I said yes, however to simply dismiss the cause of all your programming errors stemming from best-guessing the problems at hand becomes not more, but evidently less appealing to work with, harder to debug and all these bad things over time. If the point where two concepts would naturally meet isn't utilised to ultimately draw a line of abstraction, what good would come of the term "development" even and, let me be blunt, what good does it do to even have functions if you can't tell which of them even calls another. cheers! mar77i
