  Hi!

Thank you very much for this info!

Do you know (based on you own experience) how mature the current 
implementation of GOO is?

Best regards
Nik

It's too bad. Goo was a really great effort and with a little more work it might have been able to pick up some momentum.

I still use it from time to time for simple personal projects.

One reason the license is messed up is because the your final code contains parts of the Goo runtime that are GPL'd. So you don't own a clear copyright on your own code. I requested that he re-release the code under the MIT license.

Best,
