Re: libseed-list faster sprintf?

[Jonatan Liljedahl <lijon kymatica com>]

I'm not sure I follow you.. gjs doesn't seem to have print() nor 
Seed.sprintf(), but only log(). Do you mean that if one needs to port 
scripts from Seed to gjs, then one can just copy the Seed.js code?
One could still have a sprintf.js in the tree for that purpose, but have 
a fast sprintf in C. I find sprintf("foo %d: %f",i,x) much nicer and 
clearer than "foo "+i+": "+x, plus the additional precision and width 
features.

BTW, what is the current situation on gjs vs seed?

One thing I don't like with gjs is that I never got it to build so I 
haven't actually tried it out ;)

But looking at the source, some things I miss in seed are:

- imports.module only looks for 'module.js' for files, not 'module.*'
- imports.directory runs __init__.js (nice way to keep a module in 
submodules)
- JS 1.8 language features (let, iterators, [a,b,c] = foo(), etc..)
