AltME: Syllable

Pekr
so what's available on Android for e.g.? Skia? Cairo? Or their Canvas engine is another different thing?
Cyphre
AFAIK Android uses Skia for the Canvas graphics.
Pekr
Well, without R3 core being compiled to droid, there's no chance to get R3 running there, no? So your tests involved pure AGG test, with no relation to REBOL?
Cyphre
Yes, but you can guess how Rebol will be fast on such device. The cpu I have has around 600Mhz so just remember when you run Rebol 10 years ago on your desktop ;)
Pekr
will it influence REBOL in overall? I mean - even Core speed? Most probably yes, when flot calculations are done?
hmm, maybe we should move to another group ...
Cyphre
I guess so :)
Kaj
OK, so your engine could use the Enlightenment canvas as a rendering backend. :-) That's pretty much what we're planning for Red: dialects for multiple native backends

Kaj
Today was Syllable's tenth anniversary. I took the opportunity to present the Enlightenment graphics engine that I've been porting in the past months
Arnold
Happy birthday to Syllable! Great gift Kaj.
Kaj
Thanks :-)

Kaj
I ported the Syllable package manager from ORCA to Boron
I was hoping to avoid this and do it in Red, but it is not there yet
I needed it now because call/output is broken in ORCA

Arnold
So now you can program an Enlightenment widget in Boron to be displayed in a window on the Syllable desktop? The article is very detailed and requires to know a lot of background information.
Kaj
No, only if you were to program a Boron extension in C that binds to Enlightenment
Out of the box, Boron has some bindings with Qt and OpenGL, that don't work on Syllable
And as the Enlightenment article says, the widget set hasn't been ported to Syllable Desktop yet

I'm now logged in on Syllable Server, with X11 built on top of it
We've done that for two years now, but that was on our in-house Syllable Workstation, Syllable Server with GoboLinux transplanted on top of it. Now I'm running on pure Syllable Server, with X built from source
