As much as I like Hollywood it is probably not what Manfred actually meant. C#, Java or other mainstream modern languages with the according tools. Heck, on MorphOS it's not even a trivial thing to do a C++ MUI Hello world program for a noob as it's full of C heritage and setting up C++ with MUI is not quite comparable to e.g. starting a project in MS Visual Studio.
MorphOS would need better support and more tutorials for up to date and rather mainstream programming. Krashans tutorials were a good first step, but I guess this would need a bit more. I think the team is working on a better development environment - let's wait and see, they probably know about it.
In the meantime we can use Hollywood for this and that and while Hollywood is IMHO more powerful than many may think it is not the answer to all questions.
I was just wondering what Manfred thought about Hollywood, and if he had ever looked at it, or considered using it for any of his less demanding programming projects.
Since you are a current Hollywood user/programmer, perhaps you can answer the question regarding inserting code from other programming languages "into" a Hollywood program. I was quite sure that I had seen that as one of the advertised abilities for Hollywood, but Andreas pulled up an old quote, which he believes contradicts my opinion on the matter. Can parts of Hollywood programs include "C/C++" code?
I could probably look this up myself, but would rather hear it straight from someone who is actively using Hollywood.
Edit: Looked it up myself, and admit I misunderstood what was written previously. Hollywood can communicate with other programs, and it can "Include" other parts of Hollywood programs (applets), but it cannot use C/C++ code imbedded within a Hollywood program. At least not in any way that I can see.
Edit #2: Now where did I put my popcorn, this argument between Cego and ppcamiga1 should be hilarious!
