Not many votes so far. How come?

From what you've listed I'd like to see:

1. U++ embedded [m]
Rather than creating the n-th web development framework, exploring a more neglected field might be more interesting. Especially interesting would be to run applications without an underlying operating system in a frame buffer on some development board.

Actually, we are 95% there already...

In another thread, the Raspberry Pi has been identified as potentially promising.

I guess Pi is too powerful... you can run normal X11 desktop on it.

2. some production quality complex examples [w]
If I understand the description correctly, this will provide well-commented and explained example U++ applications and will as such serve documentation. This would be very welcome.

We have now 117 reference examples and 35 more complex demo examples.... More comments/docs are always fonr and more examples are always coming, but I would not say we are particulary lacking in examples.

Additionally, further in the documentation department, there should really be a PDF manual on the web site or alternatively a printer friendly single-page HTML manual to get people started. Documentation is actually as important as functionality and seems to be somewhat poor.

Even PDF we had at some moment, right now we have some problems as doumentation book got way too long to generate in single pass. Will be fixed..

3. further and proper extension of U++ for python [w]
What exactly does this mean?

Python as plugin, so that U++ app can run Python scripts...

Quote:

Python web frameworks. I also don't see of what use C++ would be in web development.

Well, we already have most of technology ready. We have much stronger DB iface that would ever be possible in Python.

The endpoint for U++/web is that we are able to create more compact, more reliable and more easily deployable web apps, running about 20x faster than with Python. I believe it is worth the try...
