Let us know when this client patch comes, so we can get a 30 day skill running. :P
This was released on August 18th.

So, Python. Okay. Knew that.
Anything else to add?
I like dev blogs, but only when they have content.
I'd like to echo this sentiment -- This blog has very little added value. 
Only thing to take away from it, is that CCP won't be switching to Python 3.x any time SoonÖ.
To be clearer. This is an improvement to our engineering infrastructure, it does have performance improvements we can capitalize on and it is already deployed without the world ending. Literally.
It also references an obscure Icelandic band. I don't know what that was about but porkbelly does stuff like that.
Regarding 3.X, going through that amount of work to upgrade without it giving us considerable performance increases (like when you'd compare to new initiatives like Iron Python and such) or more direct benefits (can become sentient), it doesn't look like it's worth it.
Hope this helps.

Wow! The true cause of all the lag has finally been revealed. All that folksy slow paced Randver has given birth to the unstoppable lag monster. Quick some one give me an address and I'll send CCP all my roommate's Dragon Force CD's. I'll never have to hear Through Fire and Flames again and Eve will be saved. Everyone wins!
I would have expected something more akin to gabber or jumpstyle if we just wanted to bring up the pace, although I feel dubstep is probably closer to the consistent pace we want to be at without feeling tortured and distorted. I also happen to like dubstep.

Newbie trainee at current day programming has request for clarification:
"There is a lot of C code that needs recompiling."
C or C++?
I ask because from what I've read, C++ is the industry standard and that's what I'm focusing on. C#, as I understand it, is better suited for porting to consoles. But C++ is the computer standard, though, of course, others are used. But I would have thought standard C would be considered ancient by now.
Thought I might look at Python as well.
Stackless Python is written in C and Python.

So what with 'corification' does this mean Dust is written in Python 2.7 ?
Parts of DUST 514 will be written in Stackless Python.

I use "C" as a generic term here, much as when I hoover my xeroxes. We have all kinds of "C" code: C, C++, even assembly code. It is nasty business, but even the most noble and beautiful princess must touch the ground with her feet.
What it is! |
