people seem to miss that for technologies like this to succeed, it is not necessary for others to fail. interoperability is (or should be) the most important goal of all software.
the fewer operating systems and environments there are, the lower the incentive to make portability a feature.
- tudorgirba 2y agoI am not sure what you mean exactly. GT works on all desktop OSes (and on Android). It works with Git for all sources. It can interoperate with the file system. It works with other runtimes like JS or Python. It works with the debugger adapter protocol to help accommodate other runtimes. It works with language servers, too. It even interoperates with an embedded webbrowser (through WebView on Mac and Windows) both ways. That's not quite a lack of interoperability, or?
- gjvc 2y agoMy point was not addressed to you, but rather to the comments which say that systems like this which are not mainstream are pointless. The fact that GT is as interoperable and portable as you describe, yet it still receives such comments shows how short-sighted many people in technology are, or have become. We are in violent agreement :-). I have watched your demos at UKSTUG and my jaw has been on the floor -- very impressive.
- tudorgirba 2y agoThanks for the clarification! I am sorry for the confusion. I am glad you found the demos interesting. I’d be interested what made them attractive from your point of view.
- gjvc 2y agoThe UI was particularly flexible and different data was visualised completely differently, that's all I immediately remember (it's been a while), but I don't remember being there being any limitation with data interactions ... You have now given me enough reason to binge watch all at https://www.youtube.com/@gtoolkit https://www.youtube.com/@gtoolkit :-)
