  1. Re:LUA in games by koxkoxkox · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Beginning Lua Programming

    Lua is not only used in games.

    As another example of what you can do with Lua, it is used in Ion, a window manager (http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/). Granted, it is a little known window manager, intended for people who dislike mouse and fancy graphic effects, but it has been designed to be a lightweight solution and that's why Lua had been chosen.

    http://www.yzis.org/ uses it also.

    I use mutt, but you probably won't consider that as modern. If you have no problem with KDE, there's Yzis, which offers an embeddable vi-style text editor, suitable for use in any KDE application that uses standard text editor controls. It would surprise me if this did not include KMail. (I haven't used it recently, so I don't know if it still has some usability issues.)

  3. Re:Long ago by Arandir · · Score: 1 · on Vim 7 Released

    VIM was never meant to be an embedded GUI component, hence the problems KVim had. They could have made it a standalone app, like GVim, but they really wanted a component based app, so you could use it in Konqueror, KDevelop, etc. Some people talk about synching the GTK+ and Qt event loops, but what do you do when the underlying engine doesn't even have an event loop? They got it to work, but the headache was such that they abandoned the project. KDE 4 is going to have a new VI component, Yzis.

    Kyzis does that too (similar to Vim but with new goals and whatnot).

    yes. http://www.yzis.org/

    (Yes, I prepare my comments in vi, then cut and paste, don't even try to make me use some GUI text widget editor and claim it can be productive.)

    How about Yzis? It's a vim clone designed for guis and embeddability without major hacks, and can work as the text area editor in konqueror.

    And I hope you just misspelled "I prepare my comments in vim". Vim isn't vi, and vi isn't vim. They share some concepts, but so does notepad and emacs.

    (queue the notepad-emacs comparison jokes)

  7. Re:KDevelop by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on RAD with Ruby
    Maybe someone needs to come up with a good way of abstracting the text editor part of an application from the actual application logic, to make this kind of thing easy. However, I suspect that that would involve rewriting kdevelop, vim and emacs, so I doubt it'll ever happen.
    Yzis is a rewrite of Vim which will offer this. Part of the point is to allow easier integration into other applications like Kdevelop. So changes to Kdevelop shouldn't be that big of a deal.
