Exactly. You still cannot use 'puts' or 'printf' to output a string to the UI, you need UI-specific calls. And the backend is no difference. Where I agree with you, is the need to explain to contributors the reason behind this decision. > > Therefore I like to have it discussed here in advance if it is > possible to drop the whole idea behind SCR. And replace it by what ? Ruby printf to write (arbitrarily complex) config files ? The idea behind SCR was to provide a simple API hiding the complexity of config files from the programmer. I strongly believe this idea is still valid.
