iGloo is a project to investigate the implications of building [Snit's Not Incr Tcl] on top of [TIP #257: Object Orientation for Tcl]. At present it's less a software product than a series of blog posts [http://foothills.wjduquette.com/blog/archives/category/programming/igloo/] about the issues I run into and how I solve them. I may make bits of code available as well; if so, they'll be found at [http://www.wjduquette.com/igloo/]. Note, though, that any code I make public is subject to change without notice. -- [WHD] Here are the blog posts in sequence: * [http://www.foothills.wjduquette.com/blog/archives/1350] iGloo: A Different Kind of Snit * [http://www.foothills.wjduquette.com/blog/archives/1351] iGloo: The "mymethod" Command * [http://www.foothills.wjduquette.com/blog/archives/1352] iGloo: Delayed Creation * [http://www.foothills.wjduquette.com/blog/archives/1353] iGloo: Type Methods and Type Variables * [http://www.foothills.wjduquette.com/blog/archives/1355] iGloo: Mixing in a Mixin * [http://www.foothills.wjduquette.com/blog/archives/1357] iGloo: Facing the Unknown * [http://www.foothills.wjduquette.com/blog/archives/1358] iGloo: A Dirty Trick * [http://www.foothills.wjduquette.com/blog/archives/1361] iGloo: A Problem with Delayed Creation '''A note on the name:''' A couple of years ago, when Snit was beginning to catch on, there was a time when I seriously thought about changing its name. "iGloo" is my favorite of the names I came up; you can pronounce it "ig-loo" or, alternatively, "I Glue". I pronounce it the first way, but I mean the second. -- [WHD] ---- '''Status:''' 02/03/2010 [http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/browse_thread/thread/b504555f88ae04ae?hl=en] "The "iGloo" project is pretty much defunct. At this point, TclOO lacks two things that Snit needs: hierarchical methods (methods with subcommands, like the text widget's tag command), and direct support for configure/cget options. Of the two, hierarchical methods are the more critical...but Donal's been working on that"... "Ultimately, I expect that TclOO will mature to the point that Snit is unnecessary, or Snit 3 will be built on TclOO. Unfortunately, as I said in another post, I really need support for hierarchical methods, and it's not there in TclOO yet"... quoted from [WHD] (Oct 23 2009) ---- '''Discussion''' [RLH] I am glad you stuck with Snit! ; ) [WHD] Would just plain "Gloo" (punning on both "Glue" and "OO") be better? [RLH] It doesn't screem at me like iGloo does. Snit is better though. <> Object Orientation | Snit
