Foundation Framework

[Bob Sneidar]

If you knew even the basics of C you could write widgets that could do things you presently cannot do in LC. At least that is what I think they are saying. An example? A really robust SMTP module, that knows how to work with modern encryption. This is not trivial, but thankfully, there are libraries and API's that are already written to do most of the heavy lifting.

Another might be writing a REAL progress dialog which ran in it's own thread. Or how about something that handles a graphics animation for a game? Or was able to interact with another program like Adobe Acrobat via the Javascript API, something that cannot be done presently without some API's in place.

You certainly don't mean people should learn C/C++/ObjC
and not use LC any more. So I really don't understand
the purpose of this thread:

Foundation Framework is "prepackaged" code, also LCB.
So could you please give us one simple example of what
you mean with "you can use its power inside of a stack
instead of writing extensions" (with the help of C/C++/ObjC
only).

Thanks.
