I just watched the widget video and it sounds really great. The video like all of their videos was well done too. It sounds like Kevin wants more people developing externals and that is good. Balgenorth On Aug 13, 2014, at 3:25 PM, Richard Gaskin wrote: > JB wrote: > > > Changing the subjec

Richard is wrong. The goal is to be able to use any language, including anything that is available for the separate OS-es. However, there'll be a meta-LC like language, that is not quite LC, but similar-ish, which will allow to write externals too. The Idea is that it's similar enough for more p
