<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </head> <body> Hello, Reading <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeanShell">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeanShell</a>, specifically: "Since Java 9, Java instead includes <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JShell" title="JShell">JShell</a>, a different <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read%E2%80%93eval%E2%80%93print_loop" title="Read–eval–print loop">read–eval–print loop</a> (REPL) shell based on Java syntax, indicating that BeanShell will not be continued" I wonder if we could remove Beanshell part from LO. Also, we use Rhino as Javascript engine (Rhino is written in Java). Some people proposed C/C++ engine like Spidermonkey or V8 (see <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97827">https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97827</a>) but it seems they may be problematic too because of instable API and specific GC, see Michael's comment here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97827#c7">https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97827#c7</a> However, shouldn't we focus on Basic support and Python and remove the 2 others or at least Beanshell ? Goal: diminish Java dependency and maintaining burden by removing code. Now I must recognize I don't know if these 2 features are used or not. Considering number of bugtrackers it doesn't seem so but perhaps it's because there are very few bugs. Julien </body> </html>
