>>> Is this 'replacement' going to be written in Java?
Dear god I hope not. Java has no place in a high speed low drag data
distribution network. If someone wants to play with Java go recode Gempak.
LDM should remain C or C++ for the foresable future. That's not a
religious opinion..I can't program in either language. But having been in
the IT business my entire career I've seen Java come and go...and it's
rarely been the right solution for any problem.

I hate "me too" threads but for this I'll throw in my +1. I haven't heard
anybody on this mailing list suggest any needed changes. What's the
reason for the 'replacement'? Replacement for the sake of replacement is
never a good idea.
