Sorry to hear that. Thanks for posting, Richard. Here's a photo of Ray on the ferry from the Malta LC conference in 2006.

Thanks for all the fish

PowerDebug and PowerTools have now been released into the wild as opensource tools (MIT license).
Code is all intact, although the check for update functionality has been commented out for obvious reasons.
Have fun.

Re: AI programming. AI as a team.

Yes. Very interesting reading. Reminds me, of course, of a joke. A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts: "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend. I would meet him half an hour ago,...

Re: Mapping handler dependencies

Yeah. I'm running out of things on my wishlist. :roll: Just for fun a while back I started looking into a gource-style display of handler dependencies, and while it was a fun project I'm not sure it gave any more insight into the code complexity than a mermaid-based display. https://opensource.com/b...

Re: Livecode and Python?

Great, I've just tested it in a terminal and its super cool that it can work in this way !! :D I'm wondering, what are some method names in order to pass some values to a python or julia or some other language without opening a console ahead ? If you've got this working in a terminal window on linu...

Re: Mapping handler dependencies

The one new feature I like best is the colorization of the path when clicking on a node. That helps a lot in interpreting the diagram when drilling down the dependencies.
Ah. I missed that feature. Yes, that's a nice touch.

Re: LCB Debugging Strategies

Since the arc of LC's future seems to bend toward dumbing things down to a no-code approach, I wouldn't count on either of these getting much love. The "out of process debugger" LCMark proposed eight years ago would have been useful. I wonder how the LC team debugs their own LCB widgets. Log stateme...

Re: Mapping handler dependencies

In any case it potentially causes some faults in the way the handler relations are defined, that I find hard to get around. Yeah, that was my take as well. I messed around a bit with setProps having a leading "S" and then removing it before adding to the syntax list, but it seemed like a lot of wor...
