- sometimes compatibilty is not really compatibility
IMHO, it is not a good idea to support outdated and rare platforms which are in use by two or three individuals on the planet...
Being able to compile on outdated and rare platforms is in itself of little value. It does however pay off every time there is a brand new platform we want to support. E.g. we have fairly good support for 64 bit architechtures thanks to our support for rare platforms. Though I am not sure Xavier meant portability.
s/portability/compatibility/
Was speaking about pike itself. Eg #pike7.2 somethimes is not enougth to help comptability inside some code.... :/
- it is NOT embeddable.... (so we can't make a mod_pike for
apache).
And it will never be, I believe. At least it will not be done by the Pike team. Why? "Nobody needs it"
Well, its on top of my wishlist.
Good ::)
