Hearing from lots of Frontier users after Gruber's writeup yesterday. #
I didn't know that he had used Frontier. It was really interesting to read his perspective. The connection between the language and the object database is something so simple it can be hard to explain. 💥#
Some people wish it would "come back." For them I have good news. Thanks to solid engineering and generous work from Ted C Howard, Frontier runs on today's Macs, except now it's called The OPML Editor, because it's configured as an outliner. Long story. It's totally Frontier.#
I'm using v10.1b19 as my IDE for my JavaScript work. I've built a real sweet code deployment environment, it's as if S3 is my file system. All this to say that Frontier is as rock-solid as ever. If you're a Mac user and want a Frontier experience, it's available to you. Not as a memory.#
Ted maintains a GitHub repository with the latest version. The list is in reverse chronologic order.#
There is a Windows version, I don't know how well it runs. You can download it from home.opml.org. #
