From: Denis Shevchenko [mailto:for.dshevchenko@gmail.com] Is there any interest in a library for configuration file parsing?
Having done this once, just before TCL was announced, I won't ever do it again. Ousterhout's reasoning is, in my opinion, unassailable. Configuration files might as well be written in a full-featured, widely-understood embedded scripting language. http://www.stanford.edu/~ouster/cgi-bin/papers/tcl-usenix.pdf That would be Python now, right?
