Another working programming language - green candidate
Hi!
Another programming language is up and running under Executor
(1.99q12): the concurrent clean language (version 0.8)! It's especially
nice, because clean can create native macintosh applications. What I
tested was loading a source, compiling a source, running an application
and browsing the online information. Absolute no problems up to now,
except that it claims not to be 32bit-clean (but you can savely disable
the warning). You even can create windows and all that nifty gui stuff
every mac-user yawns for. And the best: clean is a lazy pure functional
language like miranda or haskell - so it's at the top of modern
languages. It's feature rich and nice to read and people like me go
completely bozo over being able to use such a lovely thing ;-)
As a bigger first test the system currently installas the CleanIO
library - that's the gui lib for Clean. It's something about 7 MB of
source, if that compilation doesn't go *booom*, I think Clean 0.8 is
definately a green candidate! And up to now it didn't go *booom*!
As a second test I compile and run the Mandelbrot program from the
IOSamples directory - an interactive fractal function drawing program
for the Mac written in Clean. And guess what? It works! Definately a
green candidate!
The third was the best: a complete Editor written in Clean. Compile,
link, run - great. My first real (the other two were only little
quickies) mac-program I ever compiled on the executor ;-)
Even MacTetris in Clean is availble and runs. For those that need it
...
I _LOVE_ it!!!! :-)
bye, Georg
