And BTW I would really like to see how we can do crude with
magritte-described objects.

It’s not strange to me, because when working with Magritte 2, it
seemed that almost everything I wanted to do had a hook method to
override, or an obvious place to subclass or extend. So much so, that
when I could not find the extension point, I thought it was my fault.
What was missing was instance-based descriptions, which was added by
the community in Magritte 3.
:)
Given how well-factored Magritte 2 was, my deduction was that a lot
of effort had already been done to extract out an open-source
artefact, from whatever system drove it’s development. So, no
surprise that few improvements to the core Magritte were needed.
Ok so we have perfect software. Good to know.
Now if heavy users of open-source libraries do not enhance these
open-source libraries and keep their extensions
under close source then the open-source libraries will never make
progress and I will immensely sad.
Given that Magritte is already well-factored for extensions, what
tends to be written is exactly the custom code which you would not be
releasing to open-source.
but you see I did not use magritte since long time. It would be great
to have example of custom-code.
For example are relationships any useful.
However, there might be a case for add-ons, such as Twitter Bootstrap
support. As mentioned in another post, changing the Magritte
API/interfaces at this point is tricky, because it would affect
current users - that’s the conundrum: success and wider adoption will
constrain the evolution.
We have versions to help there.
The addition of instance-based descriptions was worth the (minor)
pain of the transition, but what level of pain would be tolerable to
add Bootstrap support, especially if you’re not using Bootstrap.
But we are talking about SeasideMagritte here?
I do not know because I do not have experience.
I was talking about magritte.
