World: r3wp

Then you will be someone I will call upon when I need to do an application 
:)

lol

if i can use my makeVID2 we get a deal lol

(check private)

Oscar is in real world use even now, as part of Syllable.

No, it's ORCA

Sorry :)

I mistyped. How is ORCA doing?

Indeed it's being in active use in Syllable, both Desktop and Server. 
Regarding development, it's currently in maintenance mode

Orca is a REBOL-like interpreter which can be used under the terms 
of either the GPL or LGPL.


The interpreter is a C library so that C/C++ applications can use 
Orca as an embedded scripting system.

Hum integrated in a C library that reminds me something ....

ORCA THERE  --> http://trac.geekisp.com/orca/wiki

I'm looking of what can be done and how it can be done with orca 
hum compare to rebol that's a short version.

on language structure i realy don't see why it revendicates to be 
a rebol like VM ....

it's more like a shell ... than rebol

no block structure and rebol is all about the block !!

ORCA code example:

last: := " "; line :=" " ;  i:= 1; line := item [i] ++ " " number[i]; 
if i  > n then do do last := item[i]; i := i + 1etc ....

hum this orca wiki is inactive since 2 years

hum i make a mistake the code samle igived is thune

http://trac.geekisp.com/orca/wiki/OrcaProject<- seems like a better 
start point...

So Carl is back for a bit. We're having a little chat. Will post 
a summary when we're done.

(it's quite interesting!)

Henrik, please, can you ask Carl if there will be the some kind of 
breakpoint, variable inspection, change code and continue in R3 ?
(Thanks for sharing)

Question posted :-)

Carl surfaced for air and dived again.  He asked about help naming 
the new "VID" system without calling it "VID".

http://hmkdesign.dk/rebol/files/90e3407319954c2fb00e1665fdbd0e22-128.html
<--- Summary here.

Henrik thanks for posting.  That sounds a bit like how I currently 
dev my gui apps.  They behave like webpages for the most part.

Carl is still wondering how to name thing ....I think really that's 
not the main problem actually ... I'm more interrested to know how 
the dev goes according to the road map than knowing how rebol VM 
without View is going to be called how REBOL language is going to 
be named how rebol/view is going to be named next ...

a stronger link betwin "networking" and "visual" modules ??? hum 
that's like if Carl was preteneding we can't already do that !!?? 
What VID (or what ever called (turtle, springler, widlets reblets, 
reboing, rebelistic-view-system,widbol)  needs is a better Interface 
Human machin a better set of functionnalities  to reflect the most 
of the visual capabilities of now in days computers and a better 
set of widgets.... (call it cosmetic (code and rendering) and performancies 
to be short )

the remaining questions are  futil  and worthless .... I prefere 
a no mane thing working than a named thing not working ....

ummm... yes, I did suggest that !

interresting questions: what is the new road map (with deadlines) 
whowill participate?  actual gabrile code remains or is it trashed 
?  in the futur how can we organise the community to apport more 
and in amore productivly way?  what is the real main vision he have 
on view? does it's going to be an easy to  build  fexible and easy 
to update visual  IHM  or does it going to be nothing more than a 
webrowser (and bro if that's your vision you are a decade too late 
there is plenty of web browser and most of thempropose way to extend 
them with minimal coding .... )

Gabriele will continue to use his own code and perhaps finish it 
... unless Carl's is so much better!

Devbase is supposed to be the instrument of collaboration.  You can 
download it now and use it.

does rebol fanatic commmunity can stand more of the I work I disapear 
and I come back to restart all AAAAAAAAAAAgain with new ideas ? don't 
you think carl that's what is killing REBOL  and make him stays in 
the underground community darkness ?

He says he's building a new gui system ... don't really know what 
that means.

But he wants to make it simpler to build interfaces

Carl's flesh burns in sunlight .. so he stays underground

I read that too graham  but that's too fuzzy man ... That's like 
the NASA tell us they are going to lend a shuttle on mars planet 
....

Exactly .. so how on earth can we help with naming it!  We need to 
see it first.

I guess if we can imagine it, we have it wrong already.

yeaaaaaaaaaah  ...  changing names don't means you changing the meaning 
.or the content ...

What's the alternative?

Work with R2 I guess ....

wellwhat amazed me is the community message was (as far my poor idiot 
brain understood it ) "We need VID  with more widgets closer in the 
look and capabilities of what can be done with other widgets libraries, 
better performancies and a bette way to handle user/machine interface 
. And Carl reply by okay VID2  is a trash lets change all .... I'm 
not sure the reply feets with the ask. But maybe our   ask was too 
much short ended vision and Carlplans on a bigger plan but that can 
only telled by him

I think that his response is to build something that will be easier 
to use than VID.

VID was here for many years before any extensions were done by the 
community ie. too hard.

I'm not sure having CArl and gabriele working on there own on differents 
things is a good thing because at the end the one who  will realese 
the official  content is carl

Most people were not able to build new widgets for VID.
