1. My idea for a namespacing solution
What about pure OOP, this elminates all the problems that you are trying to
solve.
--OopDemo.ex
-- using my Person demo from Sympel/STOOP
class Person
sequence Name,Phone
integer Age
public procedure Person (sequence n, sequence p, integer a)
Name = n;
Phone = p;
Age = a;
end procedure
public procedure display()
IO.printf(1,"Hello, my name is %s, i'm %d years old, and my number is
%d",{Name,Age,Phone})
end procedure
end class
public class OopDemo
public static procedure main(sequence cmdline)
Person p
p = new Person("Ian","555-2342",17)
p.display()
end procedure
end class
-- end
the program would also have to be invoked like
ex OopDemo.ex
Notice how it's Java-like, this is because i have a new found love for
Java.
I REALLY like this idea, please Rob? please!
Ian.

Tell me, please, what you're running. I've tried Java a couple of times, the
latest being IBM's Visual Age. It's always been so slow that I couldn't
consider using it for anything more than "Hello World".
The Visual Age IDE, for example, is so slow that yuo forget why you
clicked on a button by the time something finally responds to that button
click. I've never had the patience to actually try to write a program using it.
This is on a 300mhz pc with 128 megs that runs other stuff at a good
speed.
Regards,
Irv

Does IBM use JFC/Swing?, that API is horribly slow, AWT is so much more
faster, maybe Visual Age uses it's own VM? i don't know for sure. I have p75
with 32 megs of ram and apps using AWT run fine. i always thought Swing was
slow because my pc was slow, but i have found it has a really bad rep for
poor speed.
My advice to you is find an AWT tutorial, get TextPad and develop your java
apps without the Visual luxury.(i find it a little too easy)
I guess java is still to slow to have such a complex GUI api like Swing to
be used as a standard API, it's probably slow because it's built off of AWT
itself.
Anyways i'm carrying on.
(PS : so does this mean you like my idea :)
