[Jprogramming] library suggestion

[Andrew Nikitin]

What is the big benefit of distributing parts of standard library in mutilated form -- with comments stripped off and files merged together into one?

Maybe in the early nineties it made sense from resource saving standpoint, nowadays, I believe, it is more harm than good.

My major complain is about plot -- because this is the part I want to modify most often. But other library files bear "NB. built from project: ~Source/classes/..." mark too.

My suggestion is to to include those parts of library, that are currently in the "compressed" form, in their natural form. I understand that this may reqiure effort. For example, I downloaded plot source, but I failed to install it in a way that it would run from its source form, the PM's "compile" process is currently somehow needed for it to run. But I believe that it is a right thing to do and will simplify things in the long run.
