Has anybody been thinking about introducing something like TCL in
fvwm. To me it looks like most current fvwm commands can be translated
directly to TCL commands. This would automatically add
- all the usual programming constructs like if, while, for and procedures
- data structures, though only the ones supported by TCL, i.e. lists
- if we add TCL/tk too, we would be able to do all sorts of things
currently done through some of the modules, like FvwmForm and the
newly announced FvwmEvent.
Some of the concepts of fvwm configuration files can be generalized to
the corresponding concepts of TCL or TCL/tk, e.g. functions, colors,
menus...
And some of the fancy configuration options such as M4, can be done
away with, so we will have much more adaptive configurations.
I can put some work into this, though not enough for a complete
rework...
What do you think? Will it work? Anybody out there want to help?
