My initial question may have been misread. I am well aware that
programming languages can exist independently of IDEs (what was
Fortran 4 ).
What interested me was the Runtime Revolution language (or any other
xTalk dialect) existing independently of an IDE.
I am aware that for a while

*Now* I see what you're asking. Well, that's what on-rev does for web
pages, for one
I am beginning to wonder if there should not be a second Use-List for
those people who use the On-Rev service, so that those off us who
don't, don't have our in-boxes flooded by messages that are not all
that relevant to what we are doing.

Thanks Sarah,
must have missed that udring one of my yogic sleeps. :)
Of course, we could use this to get off onto an endless (and, probably
ultimately,
fruitless) discussion about the desktop IDE versus the language.

What I am very interested to know is when the language took flight and
became completely independent of the desktop IDE . . . .
I don't recall there ever being a concern about discussing CGI scripts here.
And you've got it backwards. Server scripting didn't become independent of
The reason I asked the question that I did was because of what you wrote
re the language and the IDE:
we consider our product to be the language, not merely the desktop IDE

Thank you very much, Bill, for taking the time to write such a clear
explanation that really does answer all my concerns.
Mind you, somebody is bound to come along, sooner or later,
and take issue with RunRev is the unchallenged steward of that legacy
today! :)

Oh, really? I looked long and hard for a crossplatform successor to
Hypercard for many years before I found Rev in 1999 or 2000. And I
haven't found a viable competitor since then. What makes you think
there will be one in the future and what's more that it will be a
fraction as good as
of the language, and you can just use a text editor. But they
all seem to involve a lot more typing than Rev does, so, at least so far, I
decide to hang in there.
