Hello all,
In trying to explain to students how high level languages such as
LiveCode can make development faster, I would like to give concrete
examples of how single-line LC commands actually execute dozens of
C++ commands in the engine. For example, a simple one-liner like:
show field "demo" with visual effect dissolve
Must have lots of lines of compiled C code behind it. Does anyone
have any concrete examples? I may end up directing this to the mother
ship, but thought I'd try here first.
There was that "make a file alias" code that RR used some years ago in a
PR blurb, and it showed exactly what you're talking about. Jeanne DeVoto
figured it out and wrote it up. I'm not sure where it went to though,
maybe she's reading?
