Re: Any plans for Luxor? Anybody using Luxor?

Hi Gerald.  I certainly am interested in Luxor!  My main interest is=20
getting back to relatively simple, fun application programming.

Java suffers from Sun's being so server centric, thus not putting=20
enough energy on true desktop integration for Java.  On the other hand,=20=

Python, in my experience anyway, is a bit chaotic and the libraries not=20=

cleanly aligned.  And the weird use of Tk rather than its own windowing=20=

seems a bad decision.

So I'm hoping for Groovy or some similar "de-verbosification" of Java,=20=

along with a reasonable GUI management system like Luxor apparently is.=20=

  Certainly separating GUI specification from code is an important step.

I've just learned about Luxor from a response from you to a posting I=20
made to the Groovy list about Thinlet integration.  So I haven't used=20
it yet.

I'd really love Luxor to flourish so hang in there.  Is there much=20
further to do?  You also mention Python.  How would Luxor be used with=20=

Python?  Would swing actually provide the windowing for Python? .. or=20
are you using some other Python windowing system?

FYI: My interest is in scientific programming, see my site below. =20
We're working hard to find a good environment which would make it easy=20=

to do scientific modeling, including 3D, GIS, and agent based systems.

Good luck,
