[Asterisk-Users] What about a higher level configuration language

[Rodolfo Grave]

Hi all.

I've been reading through Wi-Ki and at the extensions.conf file 
description (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+config+extensions.conf)

The author says this:

"One day, someone is going to write a proper scripting language for 
Asterisk that can understand a simpler, easier (and more traditional) 
scripting syntax. All it would need to do is translate the "high level" 
scripting code into the "low level" stuff that is required here. But 
until then, we have to live with what we've got."

I just haven't use asterisk enough yet, so I wont be able to make the 
specifications, but I'm sure with the help of the community and if there 
are enough people needing/wating this, we can make a good language 
specification. Personally I can and will make the compiler from the 
higher level to current language, and even maybe vice-versa. Just need 
the specification of both languages and support of the comunity (if no 
one needs this it is not worthy).

Please, send oppinions and ideas about this.

RODOLFO
