Is a tool like that better written in Java or Ruby > where we already have full introspection over the whole Wt api? I wouldn't be against a ui builder tool that builds/manages .h files. The tool then becomes optional, and .h files can be hand edited if one chooses to, and one doesn't have to incorporate other tools into the make process. Or maybe python which already has boost bindings, and I think someone was looking at it for Wt. I'm not sure that I'd like to deal with adding in Java and/or Ruby into my mix of dev tools quite yet. > > It seems to me there are two camps of Wt users - those that think it > is really good because it uses boost, and those that think it is > really good in spite of using boost.

Just to help keep the counts of for/against balanced, I belong to the 'because it uses boost' group. Boost libraries keep pushing the envelope, offer up ideas for code improvement, and provide tools for solving thorny problems. -- Scanned for viruses and dangerous content at http://www.oneunified.net and is believed to be clean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
