Just a stray thought here. I hope nobody’s offended if there end up
being multiple implementations of a Squeaky Ruby environment. I’m
working on one, and I think a few others might be as well. Why? Ummm
… because it’s fun?We can either avoid re-invent the wheel, meaning we bond to some GUI
layer like Gtk. Or we can write our own GUI layer, thus re-inventing
the wheel that Squeak invented.I’m lazy. Which path did you pick?
Laziness, of course. I try to reinvent enough wheels in my programming,
and I’m not ready for that one yet. I’m just using Ruby/Tk.
It can be hard to avoid reinvention, though. I was almost finished
implementing a primitive sort of undo/redo functionality for text
buffers, when I noticed that Tk apparently has that built in to the text
widget. Whoops. Oh well, maybe I can use that little idea later.
So, yeah. I don’t feel like writing my own GUI layer, even though it
might be kinda neat. Heck, I still need to learn how Tk works
