Subject: [ruby-talk:04300] Mozilla and Tk; Komodo and Ruby|Tcl

Hi,

Does anyone have a reasonable idea of (or actual experience with) how
suitable (in terms of a tolerable library interface and good
performance) the Mozilla application framework is for doing the sorts of
things that people like to do with Tk?

Given that the Komondo IDE is supposed to be open source, has anyone in
the Ruby and Tcl worlds looked at adapting it for their respective
languages?

The text below is excerpted from:
http://www.activestate.com/Corporate/Media_Center/News/Press959150636.html

ActiveState is building a Perl, Python and JavaScript integrated
development environment (IDE) called Komodo. Komodo will use the
Mozilla application framework and thus will have the benefit of being
cross-platform and fully supportive of Windows and Linux amongst
others. The IDE will offer features familiar to users of any modern
IDE such as a rich language-aware editor, an interactive debugger and
an interactive shell. The Komodo IDE source code will be freely
available and will leverage Internet standards such as XML, CSS, RDF,
FTP, WebDAV, and HTTP.  This will make it easy for users to extend the
IDE as well as learn how a complex Mozilla application is built. For
more information about ActiveState's IDE vision, see
