Several years ago, Norm, Eugene and I talked seriously about building a competitor to Xojo. I even came up with a name for it - Objo. Ultimately we decided against it and moved on with our lives. However, the idea never left me. I’ve watched Xojo Inc made repeated bad decisions and stop listening t…

[image] bgrommes: That said, Objo probably doesn’t need to be more than that, especially out of the chute That’s my feeling exactly. 99% of use cases are more than adequately served by ObjoBasic’s runtime speed. It was important to me to maintain a BASIC-like syntax and in order to do that I …

[image] Garry: What I think is most important is reducing friction between a user’s idea/creativity and production and that is where I think Objo can shine. Totally agree. It is just that I can see myself using it for lots of routine command line utils and any desktop GUI especially that need…

[image] Garry: This is on the roadmap. I have an implementation plan for how this might work and when I built the VM I did so with this in mind. This is a really good news…

Bought a license today to support your excellent work @Garry Any hint when you will make .objo file-format more git-friendly? Feature #68 - Objo

Thank you so much for supporting me, it’s really appreciated. I’m currently nearing the end of implementing ContainerControls which has been a big refactor. Then I’m probably going to tackle MySQL / PostgreSQL and fix any logged bugs. That’ll be the next release. After that, I think I will tackle t…

I respect people who want a purely native control runtime but I’ve yet to see an easy to use comprehensive tool that can build completely native apps on three desktop platforms without effectively building three individual apps and guarding them behind countless platform specific declares/conditiona…

Garry, yout tool is a real good Idea and is for former XoJo programmers for sure a good alternative. And with the Avalonia GUI you are save for all platforms so if you later want to add Android, iOS or Web you may have less problems. Especially while dotnet provides this functionalities it is possib…

[image] Garry: Most of the professional tools I have used in my life as a physician and radiologist are completely custom UIs and I think this is true for many business areas. I am (or was?) an analytical chemist and have used a lot of different software controlled equipment for routine use i…

Totally respect that. I happen to see the exact opposite in my line of work :slight_smile: Ultimately I’m coming at this from a pragmatic perspective. Write once run anywhere is much simpler when you control the UI stack completely.

That’s how C# and Java are being run anywhere. With their own UI systems.
