Mon Jun 09 2014 12:13:10 PM EDT from IGnatius T Foobar @ UncensoredIf I were rewriting it today it would be in Java or Python.
Yes!!! *minus the Java :-)
The language I really want is JavaScript but it's not easy to embed in a portable way, now that all the major interpreters have added JIT. My guess is that we'll probably end up with Python.
Python isn't terrible for that. Very good for adding performance hooks while leaving the non-performance stuff to its own scripting. The forced formatting is a tad annoying, but not overmuch.
I get it about JavaScript, though. I should think there's a way to provide C extensions for some flavor of it.
Can't remember which room it was with the ISEE-3 stuff, but here is a nice link with aggregated info: http://spacecollege.org

which one can look at in collectd.org, which supports python plugins.
Python to js:
Slow and incomplete, but fun. Check source on some of the examples for more fun. No more eye-bleed on view source.
Hmm ... does aIEeee still support client-side vbscript?
Thu Jun 26 2014 11:24:52 AM EDT from IGnatius T Foobar @ UncensoredRunning their 3D walkthrough demo and then comparing it to the JavaScript original shows just how much overhead Brython introduces. Dragging an entire meta-layer along just so you can write a bit of code in a familiar setting sounds like a poor choice to me.
Hmm ... does aIEeee still support client-side vbscript?
Yes, it is. I am glad they could settle on a "standard", but if you want to write for aIEeee, you might be pushing too far with that Q-Tip and be damaging your brain (and not thinking the traction behind the folks that optimize Brython have not overcome quite a few optimization hurdles before. They are thinking bigger than most die on the vine projects that I have seen in that space recently. They have fixed many performance killers and have optimized the code on the old side via the tickets. Not sure why they moved to BitBucket recently, but there used to be quite an active group list. Much can be done when many folks have shovels.
