You are right, but for the wrong reason. Java is actually a wonderful
thing to create new processes and talk between threads.
But Java is HUGE. No, it is rather HOOODGEEE.
And I don't know if something like Lua does any good. The problem is not
so much the language. It is the fork().
AFAIAC, cygwin is pretty good at hiding Windows behind sortofa POSIX
layer. <tongue-in-cheek>It hides it behind a POSIX layer *and* a
performance hit.</tongue-in-cheek>
I would rather like to see how all the fork()ing and |'ing can be done
with MinGW32.
Ciao,
Dscho
