Bah, I spit on your mother's hair!
I didn't know Perl (even though, apart from Java, it is probably the most popular language), but I had
no trouble reading and modifying an existing codebase (Wakaba) for jbotcan.org. I added the following:
- Thread list
- New language (Lojban)
- Serious changes in the formatting of information for Lojban (/loj/)
- Oekaki for any picture posted by anyone
- YouTube
- New stylesheets
Seems to me like you are too lazy to bother reading through an existing codebase. Wakaba's source is actually really nice, despite being Perl which I don't much like. (PHP is worse.) Unless you're just writing a board for the pleasure/interest of writing a board, in which case I can't really judge you.
>>40That is cool. Nice example of Haskell. I'd probably consider using that if speed was an issue. But AFAICT 4chan's issue isn't server computer speed, but network connection speed. If I were writing an imageboard for the sake of it for fun I'd definitely want to do it in Haskell, probably using that as a codebase.
