LotusScript.doc well received
As you might know LotusScript.doc has been released and I'm very pleased that I'm seeing a fair number of downloads without any promotion. Very encouraging.
Once the article in The VIEW is out I expect it to pick up further.
My personal experience after using LotusScript.doc in production for internal code and for customer development for a couple of months is very good. Once all projects is automatically being documented developers start adding more and more code comments which further enhances the benefit. I have even had developers come up to me and say how they started using code from other projects. Sweet.
How I would love if IBM Lotus would promote OOP in LotusScript
In the Lotus Support RSS feed I saw a technote about what to do if the you need an array with an index larger than an Integer (32767). Their suggestion is to use a List with string keys!! A List!!
Why not promote the OO features of LotusScript and provide an ArrayWrapper class that simply handles multiple arrays internally and a Long for the counter? I know it would have limitations such as the fact that you cannot use it in Forall statements but still... An object would be so much more elegant. I know OOP is more advanced but if you need such large arrays you really should know what you are doing.
I'm baffled - why not use the opportunity?
