[Gremlin] Maintaining Your Own Gremlin Language Implementations

[Marko Rodriguez]

Hi,

There are people pushing updates to Gremlin-Scala in the Tinkubator. Stephen and I talked this morning and we think that it would be best if individuals kept their clones (or primary branches) in their respective individual repos. Next, I've added a section at the bottom of the following page:

https://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki/JVM-Language-Implementations

Please feel free to link to your repo with a little blurb about your implementation -- e.g.:

"Gremlin-Scala":http://myrepo implements the Gremlin in the Scala language. It provides some Scala specific features that make some operations more elegant to express....

Derrick, could you start it off with a Pacer link and blurb?

Thanks,

Marko.

Done that. However not sure where this leads us... why not just review 
the pull request? Gremlin-Scala as it is in the Tinkubator isn't useful 
anymore because it's not compatible with Tinkerpop 2.0..

Cheers
Michael

Hi,

We removed Gremlin-Scala from the mainline distribution of Gremlin because no one was maintaining it and desired features were not being addressed.

"Why not just review the pull-request?" -- because that takes time and I'm not competent with Scala. Therefore, if someone is more competent with Scala (e.g. you) and wants to make Gremlin-Scala superb, then that is great and you should have full power over Gremlin-Scala instead of me (or another TinkerPopper). From there, we can then advertise your Gremlin implementation via documentation, provide support view gremlin-users, and Tweet/etc. about it.

In essence, I would not fork Tinkubator but start you own project called Gremlin-Scala. You are free to take the source code (its BSD) and grow Gremlin-Scala as you see fit.

Make sense?,

Marko.

Just saw that you merged varju's pull request who basically did the same as me minus the order step. Therefor Gremin-Scala from tinkubator should now be usable again.

Cheers
