more choice on scripting language #12

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
1. I'd like the following feature in jIRCii:

Support for python/ruby scripts

2. I think this feature should be:

a) Built into jIRCii (why?)

It'd be semi easy to do ala jython/jruby, and personally it's always been a 
deciding factor in what client I use (what language can I script it in, is it a 
single use built in language or another language I already know/like)

b) A Script (what's missing to make this easy to script?)

I'm honestly not sure, it may be possible (or even easier) to just add this in 
with a sleep script in between. I plan on checking in to this soon.  If so I'd 
still like to see something in the client itself to make it more intuitive 
though (maybe auto detect the scripts extension and then properly load it via 
python.irc/ruby.irc from there).  I guess this could cause some impact on 
performance but it's not like irc scripts are all that hardcore on resources 
anyway

c) How would this help?

I don't think I'm the only one who lets the scripting language have a big 
effect on choosing which clients I like.  It'd just present another option to 
users and maybe attract more.

3. Because this feature doesn't exist, I have to...

...use a language based on a language I don't really care for that has no 
utility for me outside of this client (no offense meant. sleep in general looks 
like a great project.  I've just always disliked perl)

ah, this may have been a premature request.

just realized how much file size adding the jython and jruby jars would be, and 
one of my main interests in jircii is running it as a webstart app.  That could 
be troublesome for some users.

I still may do this at some point, but I see one of the huge advantages of 
sleep now lol
