[Factor-talk] information request about ui part
Hey guys, I'm looking to do more serious 'factor'ing, and want to build a complete app. But the documentation for the gui part, is very limited. (I also like the portable nature of the gui and that it looks the same - and would like to create something) Are there any tutorials I missed, or that you're in the middle of? can I ask questions here, as I'm unpuzzling this? on a related note, the rebol gui was the easiest/cutest I saw. Does the factor base lack gui applications because of a limitation or poor api of gadgets, or simply no interest yet? I'm very interested to have atleast some initial basis to build upon, and feel that it's a shame to switch languages just because of a library. factor code is nice and simple imo.

Re: [Factor-talk] information request about ui part
Not to speak against the gui, I just want to weigh in by mentioning that factor can host a website locally as well. You can deploy an executable, stripped down compiled factor that serves some local ip port, then the user just browses to it.

Re: [Factor-talk] information request about ui part
The actual UI have a lot of potential, with great ideas from CLIM. Very few other open source PL provide such cross platform GUI toolkits on their own (maybe Squeak/Morphic), and it is a quite nice job. I hope too that development on that part of Factor will continue: more gadgets (such as the missing combo-box ), customizable look and feel and skinning, etc. On the opposite side, it could be interesting too to have bindings to existing cross platform GUI toolkits with a more traditional and native look and feel. Since such toolkits are generally difficult to bind due to their C++ nature (Qt, WxWidgets, ...) maybe it could be a better idea to provide bindings to a more lightweight library. More precisely I am thinking about IUP (http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/), a cross platform GUI toolkit being developed by PUC-Rio. It was initialy developed to be used by the Lua programming language, but since it is written in pure C with just about 100 functions, Factor should handle it nicely too. Good idea? Gabriel.

[Factor-talk] Heads up: with-out-parameters API change
Hi all,
The with-out-parameters combinator now takes two parameters instead of
three. The 'finish' quotation is no longer needed, and
{ A } [ B ] [ C ] with-out-parameters
is now equivalent to
{ A } [ B ] with-out-parameters C
Formerly the finish quotation was used to clone struct out parameters.
This is now done automatically so that is why it is no longer needed.
Also, both with-out-parameters and with-scoped-allocation now support
an initial: specifier, for initializing out parameters to constants:
{ { int initial: 0 } } [ get_width_of_foo ] with-out-parameters
