Beginner''s qustion: In what programming language is XEN written ?
Dear everyone, I am a beginner in learning Xen and has just started to read the source code. In wikipedia, it says Xen is developed in "Eclipse FreeBASIC Free Pascal GCC Gambas Java LLVM Lua NetBeans Open64 Perl PHP Python ROSE Ruby Tcl". I doubt how Xen is written in so many different languages like C, Java, Perl and Python. Does any of them play a major role, or every language contributes to a certain amount? Thanks a lot. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

Each of them are doing their job on different levels of the XEN infrastructure. cheers, Niels. - -- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT&Internet http://www.syndicat.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: APG v1.0.8 iIEEAREIAEEFAk9RqrQ6HE5pZWxzIERldHRlbmJhY2ggKFN5bmRpY2F0IElUJklu dGVybmV0KSA8bmRAc3luZGljYXQuY29tPgAKCRBU3ERlZRyiDekcAJ4hIYkYByp2 kq/v0aMlPGmDJ5b4rACeMZJ0PNwypFcdB0V3YFPYNNHlAz8=urcC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
