BrianH 8-Mar-2013 [1624] | Pekr, unless this is a huge rehash that you don't want to repeat, could you let me know which View engine proposal you're talking about? I don't do GUI stuff so it's been a while since I caught up with current events. In the !R3-GUI group if that's appropriate. |
Pekr 8-Mar-2013 [1625] | Haven't you seen Google Cyphre's post? |
BrianH 8-Mar-2013 [1626x2] | We have 3 Brians I know of so far with different strengths. More would be welcome, of course :) |
No, I haven't been following it. I haven't been in any Google groups in months. | |
Pekr 8-Mar-2013 [1628x2] | https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rebol/6MMlv-E3j-E |
well, IIRC Ladislav (or maybe someone other) posted the link few days ago here .... | |
BrianH 8-Mar-2013 [1630x2] | Ah, I was busy with other stuff then. |
OK, so it's the R3 gob model with pluggable backend engines. Looks good to me. | |
Pekr 8-Mar-2013 [1632] | Yes, looks really good .... |
DocKimbel 9-Mar-2013 [1633] | That's great Gregg, thanks! |
DocKimbel 10-Mar-2013 [1634] | Kaj: it works now from command-line on Win7 and an icon for an hidden window appears in the task bar. |
Arnold 10-Mar-2013 [1635] | Donated 15 EUR to Red. |
DocKimbel 10-Mar-2013 [1636] | Great, thanks Arnold! |
Kaj 10-Mar-2013 [1637x3] | Thanks, Doc. After fighting for a day and a night with the XP machine to keep it from self-destructing, I could test that audio playing also works on XP now - but no task bar icon... |
I also confirmed Gregg's report that 0MQ works on XP; simply the one in my test repository | |
Apparently localhost networking doesn't work at all on XP if no real network card is installed | |
Maxim 11-Mar-2013 [1640] | IIRC you can install the virtual loopback adapter in order to allow tcp on a card-less machine on XP. |
Kaj 11-Mar-2013 [1641] | Thanks, good to know |
Gregg 11-Mar-2013 [1642] | Kaj, just a note to say I appreciate you always including reminders about where things are. I'm spread so thin these days that I easily lose track of old messages pointing to sources. |
Kaj 11-Mar-2013 [1643] | Thanks. I have to, because people keep complaining they don't know where things are :-/ |
DocKimbel 14-Mar-2013 [1644] | Thank you Petr! |
Gregg 14-Mar-2013 [1645] | Thanks Petr. Doc will tell me how much I owe him at the end of the month. :-) |
james_nak 15-Mar-2013 [1646] | Thank you Ladislav. |
Gregg 23-Mar-2013 [1647] | Go Kaj Go! The order of eval buttons confused me, as I haven't been on there in a while. Compare is great. That's what we need on a large scale. |
Kaj 23-Mar-2013 [1648] | I've reordered it a bit in the modernisation, but if you hadn't been there for a while, it should be fresh :-) |
Gregg 23-Mar-2013 [1649x2] | :-) I just expected all the DO buttons to be together, with help stuff on the right. |
But that is such a minor nit to pick, that you should ignore it and just hear the part where I say "Go Kaj Go!". :-) | |
Kaj 23-Mar-2013 [1651x2] | No, you're right, it will be moved more. I left the help functions closest to the R3 button, because Red doesn't have those functions for now. I'll move them when Red gets them |
On the other hand, the main Do button has always been first, on its own | |
Gregg 23-Mar-2013 [1653x2] | Ah, now that I click them--and remember--I get it. My gut said that Available Words would give me a matrix with the languages at the top and a list of words available in each. |
e.g. col 1 would be a union of all available words, and each row would have a check if lang-x supports it. | |
Kaj 23-Mar-2013 [1655] | That would be very hard to accomplish, over all the different languages |
Gregg 23-Mar-2013 [1656] | Well, I thought if anyone could do it... :-) |
Kaj 23-Mar-2013 [1657] | I'll be pleased when we get it just for Red |
Gregg 23-Mar-2013 [1658x2] | Just need a masert WORDS-OF reflector for each language. :-) |
masert = master | |
Kaj 23-Mar-2013 [1660] | My objective is to move forward and spend as little effort as possible to be able to fight another day. So I must try to ignore the legacy languages as much as possible |
Gregg 23-Mar-2013 [1661] | Understood. Keep fighting. |
Kaj 23-Mar-2013 [1662] | Will do |
Arnold 24-Mar-2013 [1663] | Well worth the wait. Excellent work Doc & contributors!! |
DocKimbel 24-Mar-2013 [1664] | Thanks Arnold! |
NickA 24-Mar-2013 [1665] | Doc, you're doing something very important. Please keep up the great work! |
DocKimbel 24-Mar-2013 [1666] | Thanks Nick. The good thing is that I'm not alone on this journey. :-) |
Gregg 24-Mar-2013 [1667x3] | This is fantastic Doc. I know it's still very early days, but you are making great progress and it's very exciting to see it come to life. When I copied the commands from the new blog entry, to build the console, and it worked the first time, perfectly, it made my day. Then, even doing just simple things in the console was fun. |
Of course, then I tried pasting the routine example from the blog, which didn't work. :-) | |
The most painful part of the whole thing? GitHub/Win. | |
DocKimbel 24-Mar-2013 [1670x2] | Routine are basically Red/System code which require a compilation step, so it can't run as-is in the interpreter. |
But if you define a routine in a Red script, and then DO it, it will work. You can also build a custom console by writing a Red script and adding at the end an %include %<path-to>/console.red. | |
Gregg 24-Mar-2013 [1672] | Yes, I will read more carefully. Just too excited. :-) |
DocKimbel 24-Mar-2013 [1673] | if you define a routine in a Red script, and then DO it, it will work. => the script needs to be compiled for that to work. |
