[rules-dev] Drools 5.4.0.Final released

[Matthew Versaggi]

Hi Mark,

I got excited about the possibilities so I tried to port Drools over about
6 months ago and got hung up for all of the reasons you have mentioned....

I would like to point out (as I experiment w/the AlphaPad Android 4 Tablet
-> wholesale from China) that the 'new' up and coming Android tablets
really 'do' have plenty of processing power and capacity to handle the Rete
Algorithm.

I have ported Prolog to the Android platform (B&N Color Nook) and as long
as it's loaded 'properly' it runs  plenty fast.

I also suspect that the corporate market would have some hidden (but quite
profitable) uses for Drools on the Android Tablet Platform, as I think the
flood of Cheap high quality Tablets that I think China will flood the US
market with, is inevitable. I live in the Netherlands (X-Pat from Chicago),
so we get to see some of these trends before they hit the mainland.

Just food for thought, and congrats on a great product! :-)

-matt
