Re: What is "Open Language"?

I wrote something like this about a dozen years ago: a script pre-processor that worked with the script editor to store the pre-processed script as a custom property for use later. I remember implementing default values for parameters like so: on someHandler paramOne=27, paramTwo=13 Which wou

Re: Android stats

One thing that stands out (which has been mentioned in previous articles numerous times) is how far behind most Android-based phones are on their OS updates. Three-fourths of android phones are two major versions behind. The main fault lies with the carriers, who customize Android and don't both

Re: Recreating a binary stack from xml text

Agreed that a full implementation would be better; I'm just saying that, compared to the present setup, where there is no source control whatsoever, a system that at least allowed merging code in a controlled fashion would be a huge improvement. I would hope we can do better than card-level lo

Re: some thoughts on version 9.0.0

Self-promotion: Navigator's script menu displays all the behaviors, and the handlers in them, of an object. The theoretical limit is 100,000 stacked behaviors, but I suspect the menu system would break before reaching that limit. You need to
