[Asterisk-Users] AEL #include

[Watkins, Bradley]

Yes, the (newly rewritten, but compatible with older AEL files) version
of AEL that is currently in trunk is staying and I think personally it's
a big step forward.  I still haven't gotten used to it myself, but then
the folks who used to write everything in assembler probably took a
while to get used to higher-level languages as well.

It's certainly a boon to those with complex dialplans, which means just
about any of us who use it for more than trivial applications.  I'm
actually in the process of rewriting my "stock" dialplan with AEL, and
it's going more painlessly than I expected.

Regards,
- Brad

Is it going to be sticking around? I sure hope so, because the
extensions.conf language is a management nightmare. Every time you add
logic, you have to renumber everything, and hope you don't make mistakes
in re-setting all the dependant goto's. It ain't exactly easy to read
later on either.

Doug.
