[Laszlo-dev] A Meta-IDE 4 Laszlo?

[Quirino Zagarese]

Hi,
I was checking my mail and gmail showed me
this<http://www.isomorphic.dreamhosters.com/?p=72>link.
It recalled to me about an idea I've been talking about with Raju and Zvi
Schreiber from G.ho.st, a couple years ago.
I guess a visual composer for Laszlo written in lzx could be a great way to
make OL adoption easier and to show
one more time what OL can do. Now, I don't mean it should be a complete IDE,
but just a simple composer, for the following reasons:

   1. Creating a complete visual IDE implies a huge effort
   2. Most of experienced OL developers(users) would keep on hand-coding
   application-logic
   3. A simple composer would be extremely useful for building UI prototypes

I've been thinking about it for long time cause I observed visual-design
tools are at first place in the wishlist for many OL users(and for many
companies evaluating its adoption).
Any opinions about it?

Regards,
