= Jslibs =
Created Montag 13 Juli 2009

standalone JavaScript development runtime environment with general purpose native libraries 
http://code.google.com/p/jslibs/


pro:
	* lots of bindings
	* generic dll/so loader

con:
	* source dev on win32: dos file format, ugly indent
	* no autoconf: wants u to manual download/unpack js and nspr (and libpng and ...)
	* needs xulrunner-1.9.1 (fixable)
	* still does not compile !__VA_ARGS__ macro probs
	* many bindings incomplete
	* bindings too low level, e.g.

http://code.google.com/p/jslibs/wiki/jsaudio ("example 1" at very bottom)
"A simple ogg player"

{{{#!java
 LoadModule('jsio');
 LoadModule('jsstd');
 LoadModule('jssound');
 LoadModule('jsaudio');

 var decoder = new OggVorbisDecoder(new File('41_30secOgg-q0.ogg').Open(File.RDONLY));
 var sourceId = Oal.GenSource();

 var pcm;
 while ( pcm = decoder.Read(10000) ) {

  var bufferId = Oal.Buffer(pcm);
  Oal.SourceQueueBuffers(sourceId, bufferId);
  if ( Oal.GetSourceInteger(sourceId, Oal.SOURCE_STATE) == Oal.INITIAL )
   Oal.PlaySource(sourceId);
 };

 var totalTime = decoder.frames/decoder.rate;
 var currentTimeOffset = Oal.GetSourceReal(sourceId, Oal.SEC_OFFSET);
 Sleep( 1000 * (totalTime - currentTimeOffset) );
}}}

what to do with it?

 * steal code from src/common
 * steal jsio bindings
 * their macros looks quite usable for us



= wx / gluescript =

http://www.wxjavascript.net/ *deprecated*
http://gluescript.sourceforge.net/
~/freej/3rdparty/gluescript
 * complete? bindings to wx window toolkit, all platforms (I did not test that yet)
 * very weired c++ templates which I don't understand ;)
 * uses POCO C++ Libraries http://pocoproject.org/
   "platform independent c++ classes various stuff, also a javascript object"
 * uses fancy build generator: premake ... lua based?! http://premake.sourceforge.net
   "Premake is self-hosting; you will need a copy of Premake installed in order to build the source code from the repository" ... *lol*
 * ^^ therefore could not compile and test
