Hello Chipp, > Very Impressive. My buddy who programs JAVA, C, Python, TKL, C++ etc said he > couldn't do the same and tested on all platforms in under 3 weeks! Kudos for > this programming environment! Just look at the "dark side of the moon" :-) : REBOL (www.rebol.com). Although not an IDE just a script interpreter, it has full cross-platform GUI support. You only need to deploy a 500K exe (the interpreter itself and your script. The "teaching example" of REBOL is an 8K (!) instant messenger with bells and whistles (GUI) ... Like Rev, it is a commercial product, with a quite different licensing scheme. The free version of REBOL has no code length limitation but restricts access to the OS (e.g. no external command execution, no DLL importing, no ODBC). It has a VERY strong parsing engine (give way lex & yacc :-) ) with inherent and instant BNF syntaxes parsing ...
Now the cons: the REBOL language is definitely NOT for those familiar with traditional programming languages (C, Java, Pascal and alikes)- it has strong roots in FORTH and LISP/Scheme and has some functional programming flairs, too. BUT even therefore it has FULL introspective capabilities (code IS data and data IS code: they are equivalent in representation; producing self-modifying code is almost an obligatory excercise :-)) ), is very expressive and code readability is nearly unprecedented. Worth to look at it! -- Best regards, Geza mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
