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

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

Richmond, 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

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! :) Let's hope that when (and it

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
