Is there a C/C++ official editor?
Is there a Java official editor?
Then why should there be an Eu official editor?
Anyone wishing to program at all will probably discover he needs a text
editor, preferably a programmer's editor. There are tons of them on the net,
and I'm talking about the free ones only.
If the person doesn't have an editor of choice already, just include a link
to a PricelessWare mirror and let that person find an editor matching his
preferences and idiosyncracies.
Also, a list of editors written in Eu could be provided.
What the Eu comunity, or concurrently RDS, should provide is a syntax
highlighting file for most supposedly common programming editors. Some are
in the archive, perhaps some more are needed. The list of known syntax
highlight files should be included.
As far as IDEs are concerned, there is a Visual Euphoria file by
spent_memory in the archive. I had started to enhance it massively, but this
is on the back burner right now because of less interest in the language and
because I was rebuilding it around an enhanced rich text control; that made
me dependent of then imminent upgrades of win32lib. I can perhaps rebuild a
version around Syntax.ew from the xControls library (it had existed on my
HD, but the latter died in the meantime). If I can link it again with a
Syntax control, it will have many more features than the current
contribution.
I didn't take a close look at how wxEuphoria or Motor handles custom
controls/widgets. Perhaps it is not too hard to port that code, but I didn't
investigate. This could be a candidate for an official Eu IDE. The enhanced
version also has a translator front end built in (untested and tuned for Eu
v2.4).
I can share that code with anyone interested; it is not currently working.
Joe, you may have the only existing working copy of the enhanced Visual
Euphoria; if you could email it back to me at oedoc at free.fr , this would
certainly help.
