Re: Dylan Environment

The REPL or playground is actually running a playground application under
the debugger and using the debugging integration to implement a REPL by
hot-uploading code into a running process.

The debugger integration only works on Windows at this point in time, so
that's separate from the GTK+ situation, but same result. Neither the HARP
nor C backends on Linux or OS X produce debug info suitable for some of
what the Windows debugging stuff does. This will change when we have the
LLVM backend functioning as that is generating full DWARF debug info and
we'll be able to use LLVM's lldb.

On the bright side, I'm a lot closer today to having GTK+ bindings
automatically generated, so at least some progress on this front is being
made. :)
