I have to say I’m also not fond of the JavaScript idea. Is it possible now to access the DOM tree from the extensions? If it’s still not, it sounds like a big regression from the Python extensions, from which you can use the tons of existing Python modules.
Yes, I second that. I'm currently struggling with rewriting Epilicious (with a renaming in the process) in Seed. The lack of basic things like a dictionary type is really quite a nuisance. The same goes for a set type. I'm sure there are quite a few other things that I'll miss as I go along. On the whole I'm so far not completely against Seed as a replacement of Python as an extension language. However, at the moment the missing pieces are painfully obvious. In the long term Seed does offer a chance of better support and better integration (e.g. I hope I'll be able to stop re-compiling epiphany for AMD64 just because the Python bindings break when compiled with optimisation on that platform, a bug that's been known for years now). Oh, BTW, I could _really_ need a Seed Console extension! :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
