Xerblin

An experiment in user interface design.

Xerblin is an IDE for the Thun dialect of Joy. The project is hosted at Sourcehut. It’s written in Python using the Tkinter interface to the TCL/Tk widget system, and released under the GNU GPL version 3.

It’s kind of a mess right now. I’m cleaning it up (July, 2023.)
