Hi,
<br>
<br>
Do you mean "an erlang ide written in erlang"? I had this vision
too
<br>
for some years ago. The problem that I stumbled upon is that the
<br>
actual editing functionality and all the UI related to that are
a huge
<br>
project in themselves. So getting to a level where one would
start to
<br>
look at how to support erlang would take along time. That's why
I
<br>
preferred to lean on an existing framework (eclipse, see plug
below
<br>
;-))
<br>
Otherwise, there's also erlide [plug] and there's nice support
in
<br>
sublime text too.
<br>
<br>
There's also another track: provide erlang services for handling
<br>
source code (cross-references and such), wrap them in a nice API
and
<br>
let emacs/eclipse/etc use them. I dropped this because we had
<br>
stability issues, but it might just be something lacking in my
skills
<br>
and someone else could succeed better.
<br>
<br>
regards,
<br>
Vlad

I've never really embraced emacs, preferring vi in the past. Right
now I use komodo which is an excellent editor and I do take your
point on the effort required to produce such a beast. Having
"live" hooks in a running installation, though, could certainly
provide a lot of great functionality. Well, maybe someday.
Meanwhile it's a screen full of terminals I guess!
<br>
<br>
Still ... when an IDE and language are integrated the write and
compile, save and backup to repository cycles become much more
transparent. Just day dreaming out loud. <span title=":)"></span>
