I initially tried to get Scala and Processing working in Eclipse because I'm more used to it as an IDE and found the error checking helpful for learning Scala syntax. Spde has worked very smoothly for the stuff I've done since though. Ive found the interpreter useful for getting the hang of things, but new programmers might find the Terminal command line somewhat intimidating, and that's a great idea to integrate it in Spde. I'm going to be showing Spde to a few friends at ITP next week - thanks again! I had a similar experience with ProGuard, and ultimately decided it wasn’t worth worrying about any more.

The truth is I know very little about ProGuard, only enough to get it running with Spde through a painful session of trial and error. And I'd like for Spde to be the best place to learn Scala and Processing, of course! One idea is to integrate it with the Scala interpreter, so people have instant feedback on their code, and provide some kind of live API browser. I think we can get the best parts of code completion and incremental compilation, as learning tools, that way. Hi, sorry I wasn’t able to get back to you on my own post.
