We had a few programmers back at a previous job that used the "grasp" editor because it highlighted not just loops but control structures. I would occasionally use it to help make sense of some complex legacy code, but as day to day editor I found it lacking. I do like the concept.
The editor appears to live on as "jgrasp"

- fao_ 11y agoI like the concept in theory, but the execution (just looking at some of the screenshots on the site) looks poorly done. The interface is unbelieveably cluttered and hairy. I don't think I could code in that at all. :/
- acomjean 11y agoYeah its a little cluttered. To me it looks a little like eclipse does today, with older styled buttons. And it looks like a university side project. We had a hpux or solaris X-windows native version which lacked the button party bar. Since its us Gov funded it would be nice if they posted the source.
