Hi all, This message was posted on Jallist and Jallib.
I have the following suggestion and am looking for somebody who wants to pick up the challenge. Nowadays we have 2 JAL Editors/Integrated Development Environments, JalEdit and JALIDE from the hard work of Sunish and Despx. The 'problem' is that these are Windows based and we also have Linux and MAC users. Next to that time has passed and so there are new options we can explore. It was suggested some time ago to use Notepad++. I did some tests with syntax highlighting and starting the compiler from Notepad++ and that partly works but it not the solution. It remains a text editor. So here my suggestion: We should create a JAL IDE using Visual Studio Code. It is free, multi platform (Windows, Linux. Mac) and offers a lot of features like: -) A very nice editor made for writing programs -) Syntax highlighting -) Snippits (not sure if we need them) -) Intellisense (autocomplete) -) Scripts (I assume we can start the compiler using these) You can make your own JAL extension to make it exactly matching the JAL programming language. Once you have this you can make the extension public and share it with the rest of the world via the extensions market place. And if you want you can install all kind of extensions yourself, e.g. code beautifiers that nicely indent your code. See: https://code.visualstudio.com/ The only issue is that you need Javascript knowledge to make the JAL extension (if I understood that right) and there is some code generation possible but you have to build the customization yourself. This is not my field of expertise (yet). Up to know I think this is the best jAL IDE alternative covering all platforms with a very professional user interface and user experience. So I was wondering if there is anybody who wants to pick up the challenge of creating a Visual Studio Code JAL extension.
