has been testing Revolution for a couple of hours and looks a little bit inmature
Hi Jose,
Looks can be deceiving: there is power in simplicity.
I have used Transcript to create a generic, hierarchical, client/server database. I am working on a project to convert to Transcript an existing suite of HyperTalk business applications, currently installed throughout North America & in New Zealand. I am also in the process of converting a HyperTalk wine production control system to Transcript that, when completed will be marketed world-wide in a single, multi-lingual, user-translatable version.
The stack script of Serendipity Library is now approaching 5,000 lines, and someone recently mentioned maintaining a script in excess of 8,000 lines. Add up all the scripts of all the objects involved in either application, and I expect you will get a non-trivial result.
To paraphrase a comment I posted previously: as former chair of the local MUG's HyperTalk SIG, I have seen "real" (as in "working") applications created in HyperTalk by people with no prior programming experience; people who in my estimation couldn't write one small routine in C. So which is more immature in terms of software development evolution, an environment that nobody but the initiated can use at all, or an environment where even non-IS grads can create software that is meaningful to them? If I showed you an oil painting done by a 10 year old, could you judge whether the oils & brushes used were suitable for a professional artist?
Focus your evaluation on capabilities, not syntax. --
