    Thanks for the comment ChaperonNoir. Just to clarify, it doesn’t actually compile anything, the command line bit just makes a template with with the needed callbacks for the UI events. You could type that file by hand if you wanted to.

    I watched it, it’s interesting. The form designer doesn’t look too bad. I’m used to win32 gui with C/assembly programming so i watched this by pure curiosity. Even thought these interpreted languages are supposed to be easy, i don’t see the real ease of use. You still have to compile your resources (xml file), and do some command line magic, something that everyone will lose time with.
