ADOdb Lite, Parrot, and Browser Extensions
The author of ADOdb has made his comments on ADOdb Lite. I tend to agree, and 640kb is not very much these days. I say just plug in eAccelerator and you’re good to go. There’s so much shared memory between apache these days too, it really doesn’t matter. Although something like mod_perl for PHP would be a nice change(shared memory, functions, and objects). Hopefully ADOdb Lite will contribute some things back to the main ADOdb. And hopefully, someone will port ADOdb extensions (C module to make ADOdb faster) to FreeBSD. Last time I tried I couldn’t get it to compile.
Parrot 0.2.2 is out. Looks like they’re making some progress with the TCL Test Suite. I think they’ve nearly completed the Python test suite. They do monthly releases and since I’m slow, there should be another release coming shortly. Keep up the good work guys!
basement.org has a little piece on the Yahoo! acquisition of Konfabulator and links to some other similar technologies and about how everything is breaking out of the browser. Mozilla’s Xul is capable of creating stand alone applications, and with Xul 2.0 and XulRunner on it’s way, it’s gaining momentum. Of course, he is correct, XAML will be the big one, just because it has a big backer, but until then many people are hoping in both directions. Not to mention XUL is cross platform to Mac and *Nix, not just windows.
Also, a bit of humor to end this post from PHP Everywhere. Sounds a little bitter, eh? But amusing nonetheless. =P

You might want to check out the speed advantages of ADOdb Lite over ADOdb. I just put together a benchmarking package that is almost exactly the same as what ADOdb used to determine their speed.
http://adodblite.sourceforge.net/benchmark.html
That link details the results and how to perform the benchmark yourself.
ADOdb Lite is over 300% faster than ADOdb on a server without a Pre-Compiler/Accelerator and over 30% faster than ADOdb if a Pre-Compiler/Accelerator is used.
You have a large speed advantage as well as low memory overhead.

Cool, I’m gonna have to check it out then.
