I like C. I like its performance and its syntax. Call me crazy.
edit:
It's not that I don't like Python. I think it's a great scripting language. But for me, it's just too slow. Speed is important to me.
- lmm 14y agoIf you'd written the python version and had profiles showing it was too slow, I'd believe you.
- swdunlop 14y agoA key part of a lot of these pygtk players is that they rely on gstreamer to do the heavy lifting. Organizing a pipeline of "this source, this format, that sink" is not a performance problem -- it's a plumbing task. :)
- biomechanica 14y agowell, it's not just the "plumbing" thing. I still have to worry about animation, loading the application, playlists, etc. I understand Python could be a good choice and, yes, I agree it would be "easier". But jeez you know.. I just want to use C damn it. I want complete control over the memory. WHY CAN'T I JUST USE C?!! haha
