Port to other languages

[akalicki]

Given the relatively small size of the VerbalExpression class and its general usefulness I feel it would be easy and helpful to port it to other languages. I see that @putneyj is working on a Java version, and I'd be willing to port it to C++ / PHP as well if you think it's a good idea.

I say go for it!

I might have a crack at porting it to Python tonight. I need an excuse to get some practice in on it.

great idea i will do the php port today

[MaciejLisCK]

Cool I am going for C# port :)

[ryan-endacott]

I'll try and port it to Ruby tonight :)

I started working on a PHP port earlier today - https://github.com/MarkWilson/VerbalExpressionsPhp

[mihai-vlc]

we all ported it in about the same time 😸 , it doesn't matter it was a good practice anyway 😄

I like the idea. Early C# version can be found here VerbalExpressionsSharp, though I need to work on it.

Thanks everyone for the support! The one thing I'm worried about is code fragmentation - since each adaptation is just a single file it's probably best to keep all versions in one place for easy download and editing. When you guys are done with your language ports would you mind forking the original project and submitting a pull request with just the VerbalExpressions file so we can keep them all in this repository?

akalicki I like your idea. I'd be glad to add you as collaborators for each language on the same repository to keep the code in one place. Go ahead and kick in your pull requests.

Started the ruby port, it's not quite done yet though: https://github.com/ryan-endacott/VerbalExpressions.rb

My python port sorta kinda works. I'll finish it off in a couple of days.

Is it premature to start pushing for porting with package management systems?
