I'm happy to announce the release of Redact 0.1.0. Redact is an Edje compiler written in Ruby.
Unline the official Edje compiler, edje_cc, Redact doesn't read EDC code, it reads Ruby code instead. This means that Redact will allow you to write Edjes in a full-blown programming language. So why is this a good thing? With edje_cc, the only way to automate the creation of parts and/or programs is to use CPP macros, which are very limited feature-wise and hard to debug. Also, it means that syntax errors won't go unnoticed anymore :) (although I'm pretty positive we hunted down all of the bugs in that aspect in edje_cc). Redact already supports almost all important features of edje_cc, there are a few minor issues that you probably won't notice anyway ;) For further information, please see the the tiny project page at http://code-monkey.de/projects/redact.html Feedback is greatly appreciated, let me know what sucks about Redact atm, and how it could be done better. I hope an easy to handle Edje compiler will make it easier to get started with Edje and help in getting more people to design stuff with Edje :) ps: Please don't ask why I chose Ruby instead of C++, C#, Perl6, Python or Visual Basic ;) -- Regards, Tilman ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
