Glimmer DSL for SWT 4.20.0.0 - Time to Shine!!!




No, you are not hallucinating!!! The uses of <=> and <= to denote bidirectional (two-way) and unidirectional (one-way) data-binding respectively are real code from the updated Hello, Computed! sample working in Glimmer DSL for SWT 4.20.0.0, thanks to the new Shine syntax for View/Model Attribute Mapping and Ruby's ultra-malleable DSL syntax support. 

The Glimmer DSL for SWT 4.20.0.0 major release ships with a number of innovations such as:

  • The new Shine data-binding syntax (early alpha feature)
  • SWT 4.20
  • Experimental support for AARCH64 CPU architectures courtesy of the new SWT 4.20
  • JRuby default version of 9.2.19.0
  • Tweaked samples to utilize Shine syntax wherever possible

Happy Glimmering!
