How many programs have you all written quickly in Revolution that would have taken much too long with another tool/language?
Like I said to Chipp: Don't appeal to programmer productivity. I already know runrev is the most productive tool for me. That's not the issue. I asked: "How are you going to sell xtalks in a corporate environment where reliability and correctness is _more important than programmer productivity_ ?"
The only advantage of Cocoa would have been the ability to output a video file rather than a folder full of single images.
Cocoa (Objective-C) also uses the smalltalk messaging model (messages can fail at runtime) So in this thread I lump objective-c together with smalltalk and xtalk.
Since you bring it up: I am a Cocoa programmer also. Cocoa is an incredibly rich application framework. In just a few lines of code you can create an app with a multi-document architecture, complete with multiple document windows and all the machinery for your "file menu": new/open/save/save as. I wrote Slacker ToDo Lists in Cocoa. Originally it was written in RealBasic. I trashed that version and rewrote it from Scratch in Cocoa. It's a MacOS X only app. A lot of the features would have been impossible to implement in runrev. But it's a niche app: Mac OS X only. Was never intended to be xplatform.
