We are evaluating CodeWright for use as an IDE for a proprietary scripting language that our company develops in. We have some unique issues that complicate the use CodeWright (or any Windows based editor). Let me explain out situation in the hope that someone out there with similar issues.
We develop software in several languages including C, Java and PowerBuilder. For these languages we have nice, modern IDEs. We also develop in a proprietary scripting language called PSL. PSL is a object oriented language that compiles into M source code (formerly known as Mumps), which is then compiled into M object code. The problem is that the PSL source code is not stored in individual files. It is stored in an M database. The PSL programs are edited in host based editors such as vi, emacs, TPU and eve. What we need is a Windows based editor that will allow us to connect to a database, retrieve a PSL program, update the program and upload it back to the database. Other features such as compiling from the editor are also of interest. Please let me know if anyone has any experience with the issues that we face.
Thanks,
Alan Cheung
