What is the status of the new Tcl plugin regarding Mozilla?
AK: According to Jeff Hobbs it will work with Mozilla.
escargo 17 Dec 2003 - I was reading Linux news, and came across a mention of this article in LinuxInsider: "From Browser to Platform: Mozilla Rises" [L2 ].
It seems to me that many of the attributes that are ascribed to Mozilla (portability, use of standards, included scripting language) could be duplicated with Tcl as a base (maybe even using starkits as a base). I have sometimes wondered if XUL could be used to specify Tcl GUIs.
LES - I can't get too enthusiastic about XUL. It is awkward and jerky under Windows. The first time I ran Komodo, I frowned immediately and thought: "They used Mozilla??? Why not Tcl/Tk?"
XUL looks better under Linux, but it's just because all things graphical look awkward and jerky under Linux, so it just blends in with the rest and looks acceptable.
