I've actually hacked on "cluckcheck", mcandre's port of quickcheck to scheme. I'd be interested in looking into a "dylan quickcheck".

That makes it much, much easier to start programming in Dylan. Agreed! We do need to do a new release though ... But I'm wondering if we could also get OpenDylan into official package management systems. By integrating with package systems, users don't have to manually download and run installers, but query their package manager to go out and find Dylan, and install it. Package managers also make sysadmin work easier (e.g. spinning up AWS instances with OpenDylan preinstalled). Ubuntu: Would be nice if Ubuntu Package Search had a .DEB, so that Ubuntu users could install OpenDylan with sudo apt-get install opendylan. Does anyone know of a PPA for OpenDylan? Windows: Would be nice if we wrapped our MSI in a Chocolatey script, so that Windows users could install OpenDylan with chocolatey install opendylan. Mac OS X: Would be nice if this Homebrew formula were finished, so that Mac users could install OpenDylan with brew install opendylan. Eh? Any chance you can help with at least one of these? The work on DeftIDEA in IntelliJ is keeping me fairly busy... Also, adding some quickcheck-like functionality to testworks might be an interesting discussion to have! - Bruce _______________________________________________ hackers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opendylan.org/mailman/listinfo/hackers _______________________________________________ hackers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opendylan.org/mailman/listinfo/hackers
