Re: [xmile] Second implementation of XMILE

[Bobby Powers <bobbypowers@gmail.com>]

Hi Karim,

This is great!  I'm really glad Scott is onboard.  I'm sure it was
just an oversight on your part, but it is actually the 4th
implementation of XMILE, which is pretty exciting!  I have a Go
implementation I announced on this list in October[1], and a
javascript implementation I announced on the SD forum in December[2].
They're both MIT-licensed open source, and the javascript version is
more complete (allows simulation including modules, but currently
limited support for builtins).  I will work to update both to the
current version of the spec over the next few weeks but they're both
pretty close w.r.t. view tags.

yours,
Bobby
