Dear Authors of Eclipse,
Thank you. My early experiences with IDEs were... unpleasant. Vince's fear that Pascal Genie was a DoD weapons project was far off the mark, but I do grant that Genie did induce violence. And I've logged a few hours documenting half-baked IDEs. I've seen the sausage in the making. I have few hopes.

Today when I pasted a for loop with an index i into a different for loop, also with an index i, Eclipse very politely let me know perhaps this was not going to end well.

There's a good half an hour of teeth gnashing avoided. It is so nice to have tools that Don't Suck.

Sometimes little things count a lot. From 0 to i. And j.

(Anyone reading this who isn't friended? Lemme know.)

I came to your journal through [info]madbard's blog in the enry about Orson Scott Card's take on global warming. Your comments were insightful and witty and your journal looks equally fun. Hope you don't mind the add?

Thanks for your kind words. I don't mind at all but I don't do much in the way of public posts, which is why I asked. Welcome, for what it's worth.

Also: I tend to be slow to friend people I haven't met in RL. Please don't take that as a personal affront. From your journal, you seem to be really cool. And: kayaking! Yay!

No need, I don't expect automatic friend-backs, but thanks for the heads up :)

Haha.. a little late to respond, as I just saw this (and your) post for the first time from a Madbard post.

But Eclipse rocks! Can't believe how much good stuff is "free". :-)
