    IDE interface for people who doesn't know how to program. news at 11.

    so far I only saw this idea working for standard output but guess what? stdout is not the only destination of the processed data. what about files? what about pipes? network sockets? RPC? threading? lesson of the day, a program does much more than just displaying data.

    And what it is with this guy saying his IDE is much better than a traditional debugger? I'm sure she knows shit about how properly debug a program to say something like that.
