=== What: '''Poet''' ('''P'''rototype '''O'''bject '''E'''xtension for '''T'''cl) Where: http://poet.sf.net/ Description: Poet is an object-oriented [extension] to [Tcl/Tk] that features prototype-based inheritance, constraints, and persistence. It includes Poetics (Poet Integrated Construction Set), a set of tools allowing the end-user to inspect and modify a running Poet application. Poetics isn't ready for end-user use yet, but it can be a valuable asset for the Poet application developer. Poet is available in source or [starkit] form. The starkit has the binary code for [Windows]. [MacOS X], and Intel [Linux]. Currently at version 2.1.0. Updated: 1/2008 Contact: See web site === ---- The slides from the Tcl'2007 presentation are now available at the site above. The latest release includes the slideshow program as an example of how to set up and wrap a Poet application. ---- Version 2.1.0 released. This release has been updated for Tcl/Tk 8.5.0, including the assimilation of Ttk widgets. Poet has now been compiled for the Mac (OS X, Tcl 8.5 only) and Poet.kit is now a combined Windows/Mac/Linux kit. Numerous bug fixes, including one in the C code, so even 8.4 users should upgrade. The poet.sourceforge.net website now includes two screen-capture videos, one presenting Poet and one presenting Poetics. ---- [RS] 2008-01-17: Could somebody explain how Poet differs from, say, [TclOO]? ---- !!!!!! %| [Category Object Orientation] |% !!!!!!
