What kind of policy is there for adding new tools and front-ends for writing in non-mainstream languages?
-SDS has an open architecture and a rather liberal attitude to what kind of languages and tools can be put in the SDS-distribution. Currently (19.aug), at least four languages are used to create SDS-tools and the number will probably grow. The liberal attitude may mean that from a user or developer’s point of view; obscure, odd and/or experimental languages are used. But, to put it simple: The open architecture will allow developer FOO to add support for language/library/system XYZZY in SDS and/or use XYZZY to add useful functionality to SDS, which means that an SDS-user probably need to get XYZZY to use that functionality. This will usually mean: extra effort from the user during installation A developer’s time should basically be used to develop and enhance functionality. This is done easiest by using well-suited tools chosen carefully based on whatever the developer believes in. SDS is for developers so I am sure you understand and appreciates this policy at the cost of some extra e
