Jackpot! A New project at Sun Labs promises to make programming tools more effective.
"There have been a lot of
good ideas and interesting approaches that weren't being reflected in the
commercially available tools, particularly the IDE interface."
...
In July 2000, Van De Vanter and Gosling decided to combine forces on a new
project called Jackpot. The project is all about making programming tools
more productive by making them easier to use and more effective at
reducing code complexity. To this undertaking Van De Vanter and Gosling
brought an intimate appreciation of how programmers actually work, along
with new architectural approaches.
This was in the year 2000 - have IDEA and Eclipse already done this? Seems to me like they have certainly revelutionized IDE's and made them something we like to use again. Posted in General at Nov 17 2002, 08:19:31 AM MST Add a Comment
