Siegfried Goeschl -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Request for Comments - Pnuts as Incubator Project?! Date: Wed, 09 May 2007 11:55:06 +0200 From: Siegfried Goeschl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: IT20one GmbH To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi folks, since I'm basically an ASF newbie I would like to ask for some feedback if you would think pnuts as suitable candidate for an incubator project. Your feedback would help me a lot convincing the pnuts community to move over to Apache. Cheers, Siegfried Goeschl What is pnuts? =================================================================== pnuts is a JVM based scripting language comparable to Groovy with excellent documentation, a much too small community, absolutely no hype and mainly written by Toyokazu Tomatsu. A quick overview of the language can be found here http://pnuts.org/snapshot/latest/doc/faq.html https://pnuts.dev.java.net/files/documents/153/57430/pnuts-1.2.1-doc.zip http://pnuts.org/articles/pnutsQuickstart.html http://pnuts.org/articles/pnutsHighlights.html https://opensvn.csie.org/traccgi/Pnuts/wiki/PnutsInThePress Why I like pnuts ... =================================================================== I have a special interest in JVM based scripting languages since the have two very useful aspects. You can write a script using your favourite libraries such as commons-email or Velocity and you can embedd such a scripting language into your java application. So over the years I worked with many JVM-based scripting languages such as JavaScript, Bean Shell, Groovy, JACL and of course pnuts. IMO pnuts makes a good compromise regarding scripting power, extensibility, performance, memory consumption and user experience. And it has an awesome documentation and mature implementation ... What can be improved ... =================================================================== +) pnuts is perfectly hidden within java.net +) do some better marketing to make pnuts more visible in the public +) expand the community and developer base +) of course changing the licence from SPL to Apache --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
