[e-lang] elib in C++

[rick at vecx.net]

Hello all,

I'm new (kindof) to this list and I am looking for references, previous discussions, ruminations, etc on porting the java elib to C++. 
My goal is not necessarily port E and its lib to native code(although I hope that I can help in that), but rather give build a foundation from which to build a general distributed data propagation/analysis system with the _long_ term goal of creating some kind of a distributed OS along the PlanetLab vein, but open and more adhoc. I would like to base it off of elib to mitigate the possible risks of such a system. 

I'm sure the porting to C++ idea has been discussed before on some level but I have looked over quite a bit of the archives and haven't found much. I am thinking about downloading all of the tgz's and grepping through them. 


Thanks,

Rick Richardson
