- No flame intended, just to say my opinion:
-
- I believe that code generators save developement time by creating an
- image of an application element "in the space" (data structures and
- event-loop skeleton).
-
- But when you want to link actions to objects to change the interface,
- you want that the code generator creates an image of an application
- "in the space+time".
- Here I think that the amount of work to program such a code generator
- is very large, while the few minutes to write OpenWindow() and
- CloseWindow() ourselves seems nothing.
-
- Perhaps in the futur the wish will become that the code generator will
- permit to surpass the limitations of gadtools.library?
