Hi.
A CLIM/McCLIM newbie here.
I've been reading about CLIM and playing a little with McCLIM, and it looks quite good to me. I have been able to prototype some tools very quickly.
So I was wondering why CLIM is dead. It looks like it doesn't have any activity at all. And I think it is a pity, because when I first looked at Listener/Climacs/Debugger/Inspector stuff, I thought it would be a very nice replacement for SLIME, for instance. I'm SLIME user, but I think there's lot of room for improvements in the Lisp tools area, and the CLIM tools + usability improvements + possibilities to extend the tools very easily sounds very good to me.
Does anyone know why CLIM is not used anymore? Does it have any very bad design decisions? I'm not really sure about output recording/redisplay, etc (I haven't seen theme elsewhere, as if that could be automatically handled in general). Don't know about composability and layout yet (I'm still struggling a bit with that now). And I also see some bugs, like some refreshing problems when scrolling, but bugs should be fixable.
I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks, Mariano
