Tk-based LGC editor?

[bortkiewicz]

Would there be a specific code editor for .LGC files, or does the user have to edit it in some kind of other code shell like the Python editor or Notepad?

[bortkiewicz]

If the answer is "yes", prepare to set some months of time doing this

[somebody1234]

Well, hardly any languages have an IDE, plus it's way easier to just make syntaxes for code editors sooo...

[hanyuone]

When this becomes big, maybe we can make a syntax highlighter for Atom?

[bortkiewicz]

Yeaaaaahhhhh....

[bortkiewicz]

Well, hardly any languages have an IDE, plus it's way easier to just make syntaxes for code editors sooo...

Well then how come the language YOU are using, Python, has an IDE?

[bortkiewicz]

Oh and also, this is cross-python compatible, is it? Im not used to Python 2 "ttk"

[hanyuone]

But we don't need an IDE... not yet, anyway. We still need to iron out all of the bugs.

[somebody1234]

@testitem How many million people do you think use Python?

[somebody1234]

@testitem Python is one of the most popular scripting languages, how would you expect it not to have an DE

[somebody1234]

How many hobby languages have their own IDE?

[bortkiewicz]

Java doesn't have its own specific IDE. Yet it is the most popular programming language. C and C++ doesn't either. Python, yet only the fifth most popular, has an IDE. Uh.. ttk?

[somebody1234]

@testitem Java has IntelliJ, C/C++ have Visual Studio (well, kinda)

[bortkiewicz]

Oh well here is my current IDE. Don't expect it to do anything nice :(

I do NOT know how to port the module names into python 2.

[somebody1234]

This doesn't need an IDE, I use Sublime literally all the time, mostly for JS/Python, and it's fairly easy to make a syntax for Sublime.

[hanyuone]

@testitem Could you add the information from the wiki and stuff (i.e. the documentation of the language) into the website (i.e. the branch gh-pages)?

(Also, I know you copied and pasted.)

[bortkiewicz]

Sure. Didn't i load the README into the html?

[hanyuone]

@testitem Yeah, just split it up like you did in the wiki. If you can, maybe do something like this. Once you've got the thing started, I'll help out with the rest.

[bortkiewicz]

When am I going to have write access??? (Wait who is the admin @DerpfacePython or @somebody1234 ?)

[schas002]

@testitem DerpfacePython it is, I'm sure.

[hanyuone]

@testitem I'm writing an IDE right now (using Electron) - it'll just have a basic syntax highlighter and a "Run" button, which takes, like, a few days to whip up. I'll post the basic code later.

[bortkiewicz]

Can I continue on my Tkinter IDE? And are you writing it in Python? I am starting to get REAL cranked up with this JS, HTML and CSS stuff.

[bortkiewicz]

P.S. @DerpfacePython What is your email address?

[schas002]

UGH, SORRY! Would try to never do again.

[hanyuone]

@testitem Why do you need my email? You can just contact me here. We can both work on IDEs separately, but I have a feeling yours is going to be easier to make (seeing as the interpreter itself is written in Python).
