[REBOL] Re: No framework library for rebol ?

Hi,
Frameworks, frameworks.... That is what a lot of ppl are saying, but what
framework do you want? REBOL is extremely powerful and for most things it
would be better to build what you need as you need it. With REBOL
development time is greatly reduced, not because of frameworks, but because
os the simplicity of the system. The one framework that seems to be lacking
is better GUI controls. What is available is powerful, there is a lot of
potential for the View engine, but I think that VID could use a lot of work.
As for that, there are several different projects going on that are
attempting to fix that trouble, one of which I might mention is REBOL
Integrated Development Environment (RIDE)
The RIDE project is coming back to life after having set dormant for a few
months. I am working on setting up an IOS Server which will be designed to
help developers work together on their own projects. The client to the
server will include the tools of RIDE. Currently there is a powerful Face
editing tool almost complete and an object browser/editor which will be the
main script editing environment. The Object Browser will also have a built
in debugger (work in progress) One of the things that will be available is
some more advanced styles and a skinning system. The whole idea of the
server is to provide a SorceForge type comunity for REBOL developers. I am
looking at some version control systems as well.... The features go on, but
for now let that suffice. ;-)
