According to Ruslan Shevchenko: > Jordan K. Hubbard wrote: > > http://dd.sh/perlfs/ > IMHO, Linux-ism IMO: "Maybe, but so what? That's WAY COOOOOL!" it's not a good idea to scrap all the filesystems and redo them in perl, or anything... but as an extension it can only bring good. It IS a rather neat idea... If we could make a similar thing that had the same API, we could share code with them too. And yes... it's less efficient, but then again... You don't always care, do you? I mean... if it gets to be a generic interface (version are written for all BSDs too, etc) then we might find a lot of obscure filesystems implmented like that... which might allow us to support reading/write such filsystems to people that need it, without having to do anything. And these people will be MUCH happier that they can read/write that file they needed to/from their obscure filesystem at half the speed then not at all. I wonder how much work it would be... How do they integrate perl with the kernel?? That could get ugly :) *starts diggint for details* /Mikael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
