In the gwan.h header i see there is LG_VHDL. VHDL is, as far as i know, mostly for FPGA programming.
Could you please tell me more why, what, how there is a something related to vhdl here ? I can't find anything about gwan and vhdl anywhere.
vhdl is a description language, you describe how the hardware is supposed to works and there is an insanely complex compiler that make it real. How could it be possible to describe a cgi in vhdl ?
thank you
Good question.
When you relate the two products of TrustLeap: G-WAN and its Crypto technology, it may make sense to serve the needs of tiny (but well-financed) communities.
VHDL qualifies for both criterias.
The list you are referring to includes the following programming languages:
enum
{
LG_ADA,
LG_ASM,
LG_BASIC,
LG_C,
LG_COBOL,
LG_CPP,
LG_CS,
LG_D,
LG_FORTRAN,
LG_GO,
LG_JAVA,
LG_JS,
LG_LUA,
LG_MERCURY,
LG_MODULA,
LG_OBJC,
LG_OBJCPP,
LG_PASCAL,
LG_PERL,
LG_PHP,
LG_PLI,
LG_PYTHON,
LG_RUBY,
LG_SCALA,
LG_SCHEME,
LG_VHDL
};
As you can see, some of those programming languages are not (yet) implemented in the public release of G-WAN (so far "only" 16 of them are made available, and a couple should follow by the end of the year).
But we also make custom versions of G-WAN for sophisticated users whos ask us to implement the specific features they need.
Adding support for more programming languages in G-WAN is not done to be encyclopedic, nor in an attempt to make any (weird) Guinness World record.
The main point pursued by G-WAN is to be useful to our users. They define what their needs are, and we are delighted to please.
Would someone ask for a programming language that is not in this list to be supported, and pay for it to be implemented (doing so takes time and skills), who are we to disagree?
G-WAN has been made to offer users the choice, in an environment where development tools fight to impose a monoculture (whether it is all-Java or all-C#, or all PHP, etc.).
As a software engineer for a few decades, I can only think about it like a progress.
