Monkey Studio IDE

Hey, After some months (years :p) without any special move in MkS I decided to *archive* the website. Currently it cost me a lot of time to maintain the web part of the MkS project, update drupal, update any of its modules etc. This is inefficient ...

Once upon a time there was a programming language called C. And it had 2 memory management functions: malloc() and free(). But it was too complicated. Bjarne Stroustrup decided that C memory management should be easier. So he invented C++. In ... [More] addition tomalloc() and free(), C++ had new, delete, destructors, RAII, auto and shared pointers. Guido van Rossum found that C++ was also not simple enough. He chose another way and invented Python - a language which doesn't have even malloc() or free(). Meanwhile Norwegian trolls created the C++ GUI library Qt. It simplifies memory management by deleting objects automatically when it thinks the objects are not needed. A man called Phil Thompson was upset that a cool library like Qt doesn't exist in the excellent Python language. He combined them in the PyQt project. But it is not so easy to combine different memory management paradigms. Let's see what the pitfalls are. read more [Less]

For many years Monkey Studio had been using QScintilla. Enki, derived from MkS, also used to use ... [More] QScintilla in the first release. And we never have been happy with it. In fact, we have been hating it, but, there are no alternatives for Qt. Now this problem is resolved for Enki. I created own code editor component - Qutepart read more [Less]
