GL Differentiators

Um...no buddy. There is absolutely no way GL is faster then other systems. Try loading GL with a million comments over thousands of stories, then try loading them all in, say, nested mode out of the DB. Geeklog, last time I checked (admittedly, 1.1) makes a helluva lot of DB calls. It is easy to implement? Yes. It is powerful? Pretty much. Do the themes rock? you bet. Is it as fast as Scoop or whatever? No way. Sure its as fast as Nuke, but what isn't?

So whatever happened to completely rewriting GL in the full OO paradigm with minimal DB calls, etc? Oh, I guess I mean 2.0? Oh yeah, it died...

Damn, I shouldn't have gone to college...then I could have worked on GL instead.

Geeklog 2.0 isn\'t dead.

It was decided to get a stable 1.x version of Geeklog out before working on 2.0 (which will be compleatly OO)

1.x still has some way to being optimized, but its getting there.

The 1.x is \"sketchboard\" code. We\'re still working on what we want and need within this webapp. Once we\'re mostly happy with GL 1.x as a fully featured weblog (and that\'s for our own needs on our own sites), then we\'ll clamp on feature. 1.x.y releases will be done to provide bug fixes and minor refinements.

Then comes v2.x releases. Now that we have our conceptual framework established, it\'s time to replace the patchworked backend code to a customised engine, all sitting on an OOP framework.

Quit trolling.

Since speed is a "selling" point, should you convert to OO? This should be a consideration.

They're planning to do that in GL2. Personally, I don't think OO speeds up the processing. I've used different OO written software and found it to execute much slower. This could very well be because the code was not written efficiently, but I still haven't seen any that performs better than non-OO written code.

It also worries me a bit that the developers are going to use PEAR. PEAR also seems to execute slower.
