To be honest - I didn't really know much about Dabo. I have heard folks on the forum here bringing it up. And, I know that Ed was directly related to the Dabo effort - and now I see its Ed and Paul McNett.
After reading the article about M$ - I didn't know how it related to Dabo. So - I tried searching for a Wiki on Dabo - and found that Dabo is actually a Japanese RapStar! So - Ed - does that mean during your Off-time you listen to Japanese Rap? Or you Paul?? I'm dying to know! But, yes - I found your Dabo Wiki Ed. And, then I saw why Mike claimed M$ was competing w/Dabo - since it Is a Dev. framework. But, it seems - other than being cross platform - they still differ. I believe the M$ one runs different underlying code (although the online article was not specific) - and I assume its maybe C# or some other such. Where as I see that Dabo is purely run based upon Python - or wxPython to be more specific. And - I don't really know if Alan is correct with his assumption - that the M$ tool looks to be a pure code generator - as I couldn't quite tell from the online article - even though I read that Dabo DOES let you create forms w/various controls. But - if so - it may help Dabo stand out from the M$ tool. -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Bourke Sent: Friday, May 01, 2015 12:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Microsoft competing with Dabo now Nice, looks like more of a Sublime Text affair, a pure code editor as opposed to an IDE. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm On Fri, 1 May 2015, at 05:04 PM, [email protected] wrote: > http://techcrunch.com/2015/04/29/microsoft-shocks-the-world-with-visua > l-studio-code-a-free-code-editor-for-os-x-linux-and-windows/?ncid=rss& > cps=gravity_1462_-3826562155711350308#.ldz3so:DckV > > :-) > > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/80838f1ca795b14ea1af48659f35166f1b5...@drexch02.corp.globetax.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
