Newbie Q: View%Core
[1/9] from: blemeri:noos at: 22-Nov-2002 1:15
Hi,
Sorry for this naive question :
Is View entirely written in Core
(i.e can we load View in Rebol/Core)?
Thx,
Bruno.

No. View is a seperate program giving you all of Core plus
gfx-support. The VID part of View, (ie, the GUI support), is
entirely written in View though, it being a normal REBOL dialect.
(Hmmm. I wonder if VID will be missing from the cut-down version of
View when it's released?)

I think that both View and Core are written in C (there are some of
the native functions in View that are not in Core) but a lot of View
stuff is written in pure Rebol. I suppose, that if there will be
somethink like View/Base it will be without VID (so we can make our
own one:) On the other side I think it will be more usefull for encap
users then for me.

Hi Carl and Oldes and the list,
Just some notes: I hear very often basic misunderstanding that lot of people
are thinking that View = VID. Here is my POV:
Rebol/View consists of the main /Core kernel(memory management, interpreter,
all the network stuff...) + /View graphic kernel(compositing engine, effect
pipeline, event handling) which both are written in C language. Over that
low-level stuff there is the whole system object(mezzanine functions,
schemes, contexts,VID etc.) written in Rebol language. You can see
guts/change of everything at this level. So as Oldes said VID is just a
piece of rebol code. Everyone could write its own "VID" but you cannot
change the things at the C level.
regards
Cyphre

AFAIK it is written in core; it is a dialect. However, since source code
is not available, to use it you will have to download Rebol/View
http://www.rebol.com/view-form.html

Hi list,
Dialect?
When you read an HTML stream (you being the browser) and you see a call out tag such
as
<script languge="JavaScript">
........ code here
</script>
Can we say that it encountered a foreign DIALECT and passed control to the DIALECT processor?
If so, how does one connect DIALECT with Rebol?
Head hurts, must be trying to learn new things !!
Thanks,
Dick

Nope, View is written in C, with some functions written in Core. VID
however is entirely written in Core, and the source will be provided with
the new SDKs.

Thanks for correcting my ignorance, Graham. I read somewhere that vid is
written in core, and assumed that view was also.

JavaScript would be a dialect of HTML if it were made out of HTML.
(This does not make that much sense if we are talking about HTML.)

Gabriele.
