[chuck-users] code reusability

[mike clemow]

Okay folks,

It's hacky and slow, but it does technically work (on my Mac with Snow
Leopard...)

how to:

1) make sure chuck is installed ;)
2) unzip the archive, open a terminal window
3) cd /path/to/chuck-session-handler_v01
4) python csh-v1r0.py - notice that the script starts chuck and adds the
setup.ck and mylib.ck files
5) open another terminal window
6) in that terminal window cd /path/to/chuck-session-handler_v01
7) chuck + test.ck
8) verify that the output (in the first window) prints "5 :(int)"
9) killall chuck
10) notice that the script reboots chuck and adds the setup.ck and mylib.ckfiles
11) chuck + test.ck
12) verify that the output (in the first window) prints "5 :(int)"
13) rinse, repeat...

Questions, comments, concerns?  I think that something like this could be
very interesting as part of an incremental programming system that would
keep track of the classes that were written and add them to the list of
classes that are included in setup.ck.  I think that this would be
interesting for building and maintaining libraries for live-coding.

Anyway, it's a start... of something.

Best,
Mike
