[Typo3-dev] Code generation library

[dan frost]

Ha ha! Very good.

Ok - the point is this: I am implementing this as 
a properly object oriented framework which itself 
can be used to generate OO frameworks / code.

It should not up to the author of the core of a 
program to build implementations for X, Y and Z 
systems - s/he should provide the INTERFACES which 
other programmers can easily implement to extend 
the support of the core program.

By this I mean, I will write an interface - for 
example generatesCode

interface generatesCode {
   // i define this
}

class javaHandheld implements generatesCode {
   // you must just implement the interface
}

There would be nothing more to it than that - no 
XCLASSes, hooks, declarations blar blar blar.

And anyway, the "interfaces" you are refering to 
are not programming-language interfaces, the are 
user interfaces. That would be implemented by 
someone using the code generator's high-level API 
inside their own UI.

Again, *I am writing this properly* - I will 
provide the framework, the interfaces, the solid 
architecture and some core functionality for the 
code generation system. Other programmers will be 
able to use *the proper programming interfaces* 
and properly extendable (single-concern) classes 
(interfaces in an OOP way...) to extend the system.

Make sense?
