Version 2 of Holon - a simple programming system

Updated 2007-06-23 08:22:54 by wej

Wolf Wejgaard: Yet another programming system? Holon is new in Tcl but is based on over 15 years experience with Holonforth under DOS.

Main features:

  • The source is stored in a database.
  • The program is presented in a book-like structure of modules (chapters), sections and units. The units are the actual program (procedures, functions, variables, objects, methods, ...), the modules and sections bring order to the collection of units.
  • Holon keeps track of changes.

See http://holonforth.com/new/holon.html for details. Holon is presently available as a free starpack for Windows (MIT license).

This is Holon, handling its own source:

Acknowledgements: Holon is built on Wikit. It started by adding a book-structure (HolonWikit), then the wikit pages turned into program containers for source and comments. The hardwired links are replaced by dynamic links to page titles=names. Comments are edited and saved in Tk format, source is saved unformatted. Some Wikit features remain. IOW, see Holon as a local Wikit in disguise.
