Yep! That's what's great about RunRev all right and why I love it. I
did amost exactly the same thing this week, massively productive. The
problem is that all this spoilled when you hit one of these horrible
IDE/Engine/Whatever problems! It has taken me the best part of a day
trying to the simplest of things.
I suppose what makes it worse is if you and a task to do and you've
coded in the environment before you can make a good estimate of how
long it will take to finish. But if you hit one of these No-Way-Out
problems all your estimates go out the window.
For instance, if I had coded this in C/C++ using a GUI framework, I
would have scheduled more time, BUT I would be 100% certain that I
wouldn't have spent a day making a Menu work!!!! The point I am
making is that no one likes to feel their time is being wasted, by
that I mean I would rather spend 7 days working productivly on a
C/C++ app, then 2 days coding a runrev app and 1 day making a menu
work!

One of the things I love about Rev is the short development time.
Started this morning to do a knock off of a customer spreadsheet, fairly
simple, but will need to add Rev functionality later
Made 20 fields to mimic columns, added formatting, and some calc loops,
array building, filtering, legend, sub stack,
THEN...
on mouseDoubleUp
put the ticks into startt --ticks are 1/60 of a second
...
set the lockscreen to true
get values from a sub stack
import small tab data file
run 8 functions to get/set field values and sizes
do interface tidy routines
...
put "elapsed = " & (the ticks - startt) & " ticks" into msg
end mouseDoubleUp
RESULT "elapsed = 0 ticks" or "elapsed = 1 ticks"
150 lines of Transcript, 9 short repeat loops
[ Mac OSX, Tiger 10.4.2, Rev 2.6.1, G5 dual 2.0 GHz]
This should impress my client on Friday.
4 hours to build a working prototype.
Oh, and I will take about a minute to compile this as an exe for his XP
machine.
