> I have a question that I kept to myself for months, but let's go public. People talks about moving away from WO or even writing WO/EOF replacements. But AFAIK, Wonder shows that we can extend the core frameworks a lot.
The core problem being that "we" means a very, very tiny amount of people. Basically, it means "I" have to fix stuff that "I" want done. While it's nice to be able to do that, it's hardly economic. I really can't remember the last time I had someone else solve a problem for me (not counting Mike fixing up the IDE).
So on the top of my head, where is:
- s3 adaptor
- lucene adaptor
- session failover
- app engine deployment (probably impossible without serious hacking)
- chunked http support
> Sure, extending WO so that EOF become multi-threaded or anything like this would be a huge task, but from my point of view (a non-technical one), we can do a lot on top of WO to "fix" problems. And to me, it make more sense to extend WO than trying to rewrite it...
Depending on how you understand "multithreaded", that's already implemented or in fact pretty easy to do. Andrus (I think?) has done some work on that years ago.
