- 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
