- Hi Rob, Ramon:
-
- It is always good to hear info. on upcomming "advancements". I just have a few
- comments that may stir up some discussion.

- >The big problem there is that every app you create carries this Framework
- >around as luggage....
- >
- >...why do we need to have "includes" or "USES" clauses in an OOP environment?
- >There should be a big object database behind the scenes -- we just call up
- >whatever objects we want, and the extra ones are stripped out at compile time.
- >All files could go away......

- >Furthermore, we should be able to edit and incrementally compile any
- >particular part of the program, and test it out right away. This is
- >obviously feasible (check out MCL or some if its offspring).

- From the above comments extracted from Ramon M. Felciano's EMail, it sounds
- like Component Workshop by Component Software Corp. is what Ramon wants. Has
- anyone else looked into this alternative, that is available today or at least
- sometime in Jan '93, who like to comment?
-
- As I understand it, Component Workshop' Extruder suppose to solve the problem
- of unwanted luggage. It "extruds" the combination of standard objects provided
- by the Component Workshop frameworks and subclasses that the "programer"
- creates, and produce a double-clickable application with only the objects and
- methods used. It also included a AT&T C++ subclasss interpreter that support
- incremental builds.
-
- >It seems to me that there should be a default application framework that is
- >always active and is part of the system software.
-
- Pen based systems currently have taken this approach.
-
- Just thought I start a discussion to clear the air.
-
- Sincerly,
-
- :-)
