Re: [Vala] valaDevelop



Maybe a bit cynical:Idon't blame others !!!!

When I became aware of vala last year, I was looking for an IDE and found valaIDE and valama and others. With fright I had to realize that all these OPENSOURCE projects no longer work with modern systems.
No one has enhanced or fixed something, even though it's open source!


That's why I decided against opensource, so that's not the case with my IDE, which was first written in C# by the way.


I did not expect that it comes to such a rejection.
I had rather expected that I get applause for a working IDE.
But, it always comes differently than you think...

I'm afraid that I have to disagree with you: you didn't provide any kind of source code. Yes, you published the generated .c files, but those aren't the source code, I can't use that to fix a bug or add new features (well, I can try, but doing that would be nearly as hard as fixing a binary executable with a disassembler and an hexadecimal editor). So those "source files" are completely useless.

Also, I think that the problem IS that it wasn't open source, and your depart shows precisely why: the only person with access to the source code leaves the project and it dies, leaving all the current users with just a binary that can't be enhanced or fixed, and that sooner or later will stop working on modern systems. I lived this several times, and that's why I decided to not use valadevelop. Yes, I tested it and it was good, but I didn't want to be left again trapped with a dead project.

Of course, it is your code and you are the only one with the right to decide what to do with it; but if you make a decision, don't blame others.

I'm sorry, maybe it's because I work in a big software company and get paid for my development, so the "spirit" of open source........

If the source I provided is not enough, you'll probably have to continue hoping/waiting for better IDE.

Well, I can imagine that it would have generated more feedback if it was
developed
in the open. Most (of the few) Vala developers have strong roots in open
source and
– although not as comfortable as ValaDevelop – there are „alternatives"
out there which
are completely open.

That said, Wolfgang, if you no longer want to work on it, why not free it
at last and upload
the source?

Best regards for the future,
