A preview of the new Irie Tools website (created with Jump).

I have been using Jump to create the new Irie Tools website, and it's looking pretty good. So far I have completed the new home page, which you can see at the address below:

http://www.irietools.com/demos/

NOTE: Only the home page is done, so the links don't go anywhere.

As a result of my ... ahhh, how to put this kindly ... limited design skills, it has taken a long time to complete the home page, but I'm excited by the results, and Jump is working perfectly so far.

Your comments on the new home page would be greatly appreciated.

    Looks good. Irie tools is building up a nice technology stack. - i.e. Irie VM, Irie Pascal, and now Jump.

    Get your tech stack hooked up with a mature open source community. That way, Irie Tools can be better promoted, and the company can make money on the side from commercially available tools, and services. Companies like Redhat, and MySQL have been quite successful with this business model.

    You'll also be able to rapidly build out and improve the capabilities of the Irie Tools tech stack once you gain the support of a few open source developers.

    Peace.

    Thanks, yes, things are coming along.

    I've pretty much made up my mind to open source the Irie VM, Jump, and StrongLib (the C Library behind the upcoming version of the Irie VM).

    Is there an Irie Pascal IDE Plugin for Eclipse or Netbeans in the works?

    I have been thinking about an Eclipse plugin, but it's just an idea right now. I haven't decided whether to port the Irie Pascal IDE or create an Eclipse plugin (I didn't even think about Netbeans). It's good that you reminded me about this, I should at least investigate to see how easy or difficult creating a plugin would be.

    I don't use Eclipse myself, so I'm nervous about trying to support it. Hmmm, it looks like I would also have to learn Java.

    Ok. I was searching around for Pascal plugins for both Eclipse and Netbeans and saw that a couple of them were either in the works or are being tested. It would be interesting to see Irie Pascal being supported on both these leading open source IDE platforms. Many popular programming languages have made their way onto these IDEs.

    The user base for both Eclipse and Netbeans is so huge that not having plugins available to support a popular programming language like Pascal would be really sad.

    I guess Irie Tools could play catch up here as available plugins for Eclipse and Netbeans seems to be in an early stage of development.
