But there *is* a framework :)
We've learnt a lot from trying to write new components in the existing
IDE and it has not been easy in many cases - hence the determination we
have of trying to drag the current IDE through into the modern era by
re-underpinning it.
Through doing so, we'll hopefully get to a state that all components in
the IDE are essentially optional and replaceable, and will all run on a
common foundation (which would sit just above the IDE engine).
If you needed a sha1Digest function you'd probably not go off and write
your own in LiveCode Script (unless it was something you were *really*
interested in doing), you'd use the engine one.
I'd like a similar thing to be true at the IDE level. Ideally, there'd
be a good set of IDE APIs which you'd be able to use when you need to do
a certain thing in a tool - rather than having to go off and write your
own (unless that is your specific interest of course!).
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
