I've almost never found such tools to be worth my time when trying to write any general-purpose language. Even GUI builders end up a waste of time as far as I'm concerned. The only exception would be in LISP-style languages, but then the higher-level language is the same language you code in; true macros are extremely powerful! > to export (or forward-engineer) a program in any programming language. If you mean that the same inputs would be able to generate a VB program, a Haskell program, one in Prolog, another in Scheme, as well as ones in Ruby, Squeak, Idris, Agda, Num, Julia, and Elixir, then I very seriously doubt it, or your input will have to be so broad and so variegated as to be meaningless. So while I wish you luck in this, I personally don't hold out much hope for such an endeavor. -- Scott -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
