Well, That "depends". First, as an example, even if one uses a GUI builder to design your GUI, instead of hand-coding, there is still "the rest of your application" which won't be trivial. But having a GUI builder is still an improvement. Secondly, I've managed to convince myself that there is a *huge* class of apps, including bug trackers and blogging tools, that could be described purely and totally in a declarative style. So, for these types of apps, one could get rid of the proceedural coding entirely. And that is at least part of what I want to do. --linas p.s. where's Seth Nickell these days? I want to talk to him. -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933 _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
