Once again, I said that IN THE CONTEXT OF THE APP I'M WORKING ON, 85 to 90% will be handled by externals (including some crucial GUI elements) and that Rev will only be used as a "glue" between all of them. IOW, the only tasks handled by Transcript will be mostly mouse event and perhaps files i/o. Hence my question : IN THIS SPECIFIC CONTEXT, is it worth adding 1.2 Mb just to handle mouse events ? IN THIS SPECIFIC CONTEXT, could this be done with some C library ? IOW, which percentage of the code of an app is enough to decide to keep Rev as the central dev. tool ? And last but not least : if there's any flow in this approach, I'd really like to hear your comments & critics about it... BTW, one issue I forgot to mention in my original post : on this question of mouse events handling, some might object that the choice of Rev, because of its cross-platform compatibility, might be wiser in terms of productivity and time spent on debugging the C code for each platform... But since 85% of the code will need to be fine tuned for each platform, it doesn't add much to the total, and (please correct me if I'm wrong) most C libraries for mouse events are already optimized for all platforms I guess...
