Allanon 🇮🇹 :amiga:I was probably screwed by the fact that <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/ARexx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ARexx</a> was mainly used to create scripts to pilot other programs supporting this feature, which also, for the times, was something amazing. With an ARexx script it was possible to send a message to a text editor, receive the current text, process it as you like, and send it back. The ARexx script could even communicate with multiple applications simultaneously! In that days, unfortunately, I simply ignored ARexx for no reason. . .

Allanon 🇮🇹 :amiga:Recently I started to read a book about <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/ARexx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ARexx</a>, the <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amiga</a> version of the <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Rexx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rexx</a> language. I'm unable to understand why I underestimated this language for no reason because ARexx has very advanced features for the time. One feature that impressed me are the compound variables, something like arrays, but much more evolved and in some ways they remind me <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/LUA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LUA</a> tables. If any <a href="https://mastodon.uno/tags/Amigans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amigans</a> has ignored ARexx like me, I highly recommend taking a look at the docs that you can now find anywhere. ➡️

Feoh<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@dpiponi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dpiponi</a> Couldn't agree more! The big reason I think is that a LOT of the operating systems and platforms we use are designed to maximize profit rather than create a great user experience.There's no reason at all why EVERY application ever written can't say "Hi I need a text box please" which would then make a call to the generic text box maker. You like Neovim? Great! You get that. Want Sublime/VSCode/Emacs/whatever? No problem. You get that instead. Don't care and just want a generic textbox? You get the default. No problemmo.It really could be that easy. We've even gone a long way towards doing things like this before.Just ask anyone who ever used <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/AREXX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AREXX</a> back on the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amiga</a>. But heck, we can't even get the tiniest bit of standards or agreement in the open source community!Each Linux desktop flavor has its own varying degrees of abandoned scriptable component framework, but nobody bothers with them because they're all radically different. :)

paulrickardsOk, I wrote an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AREXX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AREXX</a> script that uses a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WiFi232" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WiFi232</a> modem to grab the current time from NTP and sets the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amiga</a> clock.

Tim Locke 🇨🇦♥🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs" class="u-url mention">@thomasfuchs</a> I didn't do much programming on the <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/A500" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#A500</a> or <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/A2000HD" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#A2000HD</a> but when I got the <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/A3000T" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#A3000T</a>, I ran The Heart of Gold <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/BBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BBS</a> using DLG BBS software and <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Fidonet" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Fidonet</a> node 1:255/42. I used <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AREXX" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AREXX</a> to write apps for the BBS.Fidonet let you request a list of downloadable files so I wrote an AREXX script to let my BBS users request a list of files and they could come back the next day and browse through it and request files.Another AREXX script connected to the internet and synchronized a few USENET newsgroups into the DLG message area.On the A2386 running Slackware Linux, I wrote a simplistic compression program in GNU C that could only compress to a maximum of 25%. I'd like to have that code again too.
