There are some efforts underway (pypy) to improve the performance of |
2 |
python (which may or may not pan out). Sorry, I didn't intend to say |
3 |
that you should only program in python (even though I prefer to when |
4 |
able). I'm quite aware that many people find python annoying. Just |
5 |
thought that it might make sense in this case since portage is written |
6 |
in python, it should be pretty easy to get a frontend cleanly |
7 |
integrated using it. |

I'm not an objc nor cocoa person so I can't really comment on that |
10 |
front (read portions of the oreilly cocoa book and wasn't motivated to |
11 |
continue ;( ). Also as the only Mac I have access to is one at work, |
12 |
I don't know that I'll be writing any frontend for osx. My interest |
13 |
here is in the generalized PREFIX install. |
