And to Howards point ... at what point does KiXtart become BloatWare ?
I mean obviously the exe size has steadily grown. Version 3.47 was about 130KB and 4.12 is now about 229KB. So yeah, its grown quite a bit but was the extra 98K of size worth all the extra features we have now ? I don't know the answer to that ... its pretty subjective I guess.
In terms of speed ... can't really argue with the fact the Kixtart is much, much faster now then it was before - although I have no figures to back that up.
Sure ... KiXtart started as a simple reskit utility for login scripting ... obviously its now much more than that (re: com and floating point support) ... is Kixtart a full featured scripting language ? Well if it isn't - its pretty darn close ... why shouldn't we go all the way ?
What I would like to know is what Ruud has to say about the future of KiXtart ... should he just sit back and rest for 7 days (sorta speak) ... or maybe move on to other things ? Or should he grow the language forward ... and if so ... in what direction.
Actually - remember that Interview that Ruud gave a while back - shortly before 4.0 got release ... future Kixtart directions kinda talk. Was thinking this just the day ... think its time we (maybe this board) sponsored another interview with Ruud ... just to see what he has planned.
