Hi, I created a spreadsheet following recent chat about things we have in common. You can compare your project with others. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12sTu7RT-s_QlAupY1v-3DfI1Mm9NEX5YMWWTDAKHLfc/edit?usp=sharing Feel free to add yourself and your work if you think this is useful 😄 @stevekrouse is this the kind of thing you think may be useful to our group?

Very minor point: You shouldn't use language like "you" / "your" in the spreadsheet if you're filling out information for other people's projects.

@Edward de Jong / Beads Project thanks for filling in Beads, I found that makes it easier to see what you're about

You don't look old enough to have been working on something for 35 years : P

Cool idea!

@Bosmon I'm 55. 😮 I can pull down my pension funds under UK pension laws! #aldgit

Are there really so few projects that they can fit in one spreadsheet? Too bad I haven't been able to narrow my focus down to just a single project that is simultaneously expansive enough to deserve a column... hmm.

I filled in some extra info on Eve

okay i have added Red, Parasail and Beads to the list. I added some rows, like which platforms you can develop on, and what platforms you can deliver executables to. That is very important for users of a language, you of course have to be able to run the development tools, and then you might need a particular delivery platform supported. One of the reasons C is still strong after 50 years is that you can deliver to almost every platform there is.

👍🏼 😄 great stuff

See related: a table of projectional editor projects, with different columns - https://www.reddit.com/r/nosyntax/wiki/projects

I think this spreadsheet table is really filling out nicely (thanks everyone! 😄 ) and starting to be a genuinely useful tool for comparing what we're all doing and where we're all coming from.. At least, I'm already finding it fascinating to read!

@Duncan Cragg: The reddit table has different details, and which details are the important one is of course subjective. And note that it’s several different tables (the first and big one is for structural editors but then you have blocks, visual, spreadsheet etc). I think that the important details are: • Form (visual/blocks/etc) • Target language (Java / Functional language / Dynamic types / etc) • Target audience (Programmers/normal-people) • Implementation language • Organisation type (company/open-source/etc). It covers all these details

OK, then I'm very glad you've found the table that works for you! 😄

@Duncan Cragg you are completely right that the focus of that table is different and more specific (projectional editors). But that indeed works for me because I strongly believe in it 🙂

👍🏼
