Dear IronPython list, Announcing the Pyjama Project, version 0.2.5. Pyjama is an IDE and shell similar to IDLE, except that it is designed for multiple languages. It can support any DLR-based language (given a small Python wrapper), and other languages as well.
It comes with IronPython, IronRuby, and Sympl (as a demonstration), a not-yet-too-serious version of Scheme, and the beginnings of a drag-and-drop language, called Dinah. * Pyjama is written in IronPython * The GUI is implemented in Gtk# * It runs (via Mono) on all platforms (might run under .NET, with Gtk#---haven't tried yet) * Uses Mono.TextEditor for color syntax highlighting, etc. * Switch between languages with a keystroke (control+1 is Python, control+2 is Ruby, etc) * Designed for introductory CS courses, but allow use for power scripting users * Planned extensions for pedagogical uses (lectures, chat, interactive quizzes, etc) * integrated cross-language modules (graphics, neural networks, robotics, etc) written in C# * Pyjama Scheme is a fully proper tail-call optimized Scheme, written in Scheme and translated to C# * Cross-language support: Python can call Scheme's recursive functions, without stack; Scheme can call and access DLR functions and environment We are looking for testers to try Pyjama out, and give ideas and feedback. What would you put into a Scripting Environment, if you could do anything? Let us know!
