Well, I don't actually do any coding at this job - I just brought my laptop along to have something to do when things got slow
Yeah, I know the library size is excessive, but think about it this way - nobody complains about downloading the equally huge Java library, do they? And Java has had way more revisions to download than .NET... I think they're up to 1.5 now (at least 6 Versions) while .NET skipped from 1.1 up to 2.0 (3 Versions)
Go ahead and rewrite it in Python if you want, but I'd advise you not to; it just seems like a waste of effort - not just your effort in rewriting old code, but both of ours in that any features one of us adds, the other will have to add as well in the other language.
However, if you think you can make the program faster by writing it in Python, by all means go for it! I think it's horribly inefficient (it uses TYPE REFLECTION and it's just a math parser for crying out loud
) and could stand much improvement, but unfortunately I don't know where to go with it short of abandoning object-oriented programming, which I am loath to do as it would make my code even messier than it is, and besides, OO is just how I THINK... I tried learning Erlang but it made absolutely no sense to me, representing everything as a list of arbitrary numbers and indices, I don't have the attention span to keep track of what they all MEAN!
Indices are one thing when you're working with simple BASIC programs and stuff, but when you want to do something actually USEFUL...
