RE: Re: Netscape 'Spidermonkey' JavaScript bi ndings

Ah ok - that's good then :)

I've put up the initial spartan version of my SpiderMonkey bindings on my
website here:

<http://195.137.84.121/Warrick/Geek/SpiderMonkey/index.htm>

It only supports member functions with no arguments and any return type
(except void) - just for simplicities sake at the moment.  I suspect Peder
is further along then me at the moment though!

Is there any parts of this I can move to use the existing langbinding stuff
now?  Also I'm currently breaking it with ideas on how to expose C++
inheritance to JavaScript's prototype objects scheme which is a challenge.

My plan is to get some sort of prototype of this with C++ inheritance
exposed at some point, then compare this to boost::python/langbinding and
then modify it from there to use langbinding stuff that exists or that will
be written so that any requirements for JavaScripts' special needs are made
obvious.

Does that sound like a decent plan?

Details are missing here, so I may not have the right context, but
yes boost::python uses that technique extensively to avoid expensive
map lookups for converters at runtime.
