Hi, You note the speed of java as being higher than python, and almost on a par with C++... Implying that C++ is faster than python. Well,, my colleague has long said that python is faster than C++. My conclusion.. different languages are faster at different things. Speed comparisons are "interesting", but often misleading. For a control language, speed is (almost) irrelevant. What really matters to the "person out there", who has just downloaded Freeswitch and is using it to do things like control a phone network, is a) clarity of code, b) ease of use, c) reslience to errors. d) lots of web tutorials on the language, so he/she can get going with the new control language in the minimum of time. Now, given that set of constraints, what is the ideal language??? ====== As a diversion, I would note that I have been to lots of seminars where someone has presented their new software. There is almost always a slide or 2 on why they picked the language they did which contains speed etc and other considerations. However, if you look a bit more, you discover that (almost always) the language was picked cause that was the only language the author felt comfortable in. Thus, let us think hard about why we want any add on language to Freeswitch before adding it. Derek. On Fri, 15 Sep 2006, Nikolay Kolev wrote:

Java is way faster than ruby, python, javascript, etc. It's faster than mono too and almost at par w/ C++! I don't know how you came up with "slow"!

With all this activity on alternative languages - is it possible to integrate with java? I realize it may be slow but some of us don't really need to build high end systems..

To all who love ruby so..
I got a email back from Matz today who said he will agree to issue a license to us. So mod_ruby is here to stay!
