Hi everyone
I have been building quite a large project in morphic the last 6 months
(hobby, part-time 6 months). I have been considering which way it should go
now and as a result did my usual look around the language scene. Tweak looks
very nice and does a lot of the things I was trying to achieve in a
framework built around mophic. Tweak of course has a much larger scope and
delivers a more elegant solution. As a long term aim I would like to move my
project to Tweak but want to try to port a couple of my components to see
how it goes first.
Before I start that I have a couple of questions which I couldn't find
answers to on the site. I like Squeak but was never very keen on its look. I
like the look of Tweak a lot more so that's a good plus for me. At the
moment it runs inside a system window. I assume this is a temporary
arrangement to aid development. I'm not sure what the relationship is
between Squeak and Tweak. Again I assume Tweak will be Squeak rebuilt to use
the Tweak framework rather than morphic but otherwise will support
everything that Squeak supported in exactly the same way, so non-UI code
will not need to be changed.
I have to say its a great job and streets ahead of anything else I have seen
in any language. Keep up the great work.
