Any wheels that need to be redesigned?

From what I gathered, your transpiler generates C++ source files for GCC/LLVM compilation.

• C++ Supportable:
  • C++98 (BeOS R5, optional)
  • C++11 (default)

Goals:

• WxFormBuilder-like visual code editor
  • Convert YABASIC 2.90-compat source files to C++11.
  • XML sytax for text-based version control
  • International language support (English, default)

Correct as needed.

You’re mixing the capabilities of separate but potentially intertwined projects. The YAB2C++ transpiler could be recoded as a 2-pass translator to XML, the XML transpiler/exporter could target D or C++ (separate transpilers), the GUI based editor and all the necessary locales for that (plus a few extras).

The extra locales mentioned above can replace technical jargon with more descriptive terminology. A loop repeats code so the simplified version could call it a repeater instead, for example. The goal is to lower the barrier to entering the art of programming.

Many years ago, I saw certain very high-level ‘rapid’ application development programs that basically used pseudocode (like XML) for project development and could import/export C/C++ files.

I remember only an XML wrapper for Java. Were they open source? I can check my bookmarks too.

edit:

Was it http://www.o-xml.org/ by chance?

Please reply on the “XML Code format” thread
