| As someone with a "similar" platform, I too am rather surprised this end up on HN frontpage ;( Few questions: * how is your editor different from MPS (except being browser based)? * how does your project compares to an implementation on top of language workbenches? * do you think your assumption about time spent on a project is mostly Haskell related or is that for some specific types of projects? * are you thinking about implementing some framework of your own or do you have some other in mind? * do you plan on integrating with existing libraries or write your own implementation? And comments: * for me good IDE feels like semantic editor. I'm inclined to believe that text based editor can have all the good features of semantic editor and avoid most of the bad ones. * while writing simple structures one time and reusing them vertically in a project is useful, it's doubtful that it's worth while. It becomes worth while only if you have project in multiple languages/technologies. But mostly if you can do refactoring automatically (even database schema migrations). * try to explain your project better, this should help you with narrowing it's scope. Most of the people will try to fit it into some category they are familiar with so emphasize the distinctions. Good luck! ;) |
