First, let me say that I believe Oz really need an IDE other than Emacs. I was thinking at some time to show Oz to my sister, but the important aspect of a programming language for her, is the Visual Basic like interface.
So, looking at the emacs interface, I decided not to show her Oz. :-) In fact at that time, I did consider about doing some kind of IDE with QTK. But I am really a newbie to Oz too. In fact, when I looked at the Protyper application source code in the Protyper, I realized it can be short and powerfull. The fact that the compiler have a nice Oz API is very usefull, like we see in the Compiler Panel. The main point is that making it in Oz itself, it is easier to get help from the Oz community (supposing that there is people with spare time like me in it). I know just enough about XUL you are talking about, to know that this is the tools developped from Mozilla project to make user interfaces. But wishing to learn and use Oz, I wish to learn more about QTk, than I am wishing to learn about XUL. But I understand, if you intend to do it all alone, than using what you already know is surely the way to go. But I still think that at some point some IDE in QTk is so much a good idea, that I could actually think about trying to do it to learn more about Oz and QTk. So maybe you'll get someone looking what you do with XUL, and trying to code it in QTk behind you... if that does not bother you too much. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - A no graphics, no pop-ups email service _________________________________________________________________________________ mozart-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.mozart-oz.org/mailman/listinfo/mozart-users
