Dec 29	comment	Can PHP be used for desktop application development? Yup, I have tried it since then, but there are a lot of bugs and missing docs (no bashing of titanium intended, the eclipse-based IDE is very cool, but it still needs a lot). Air is proprietary and dev is hard under linux. I am exploring the possibility of building my own wrapper around webkit through QT.
Dec 2	comment	Functional Low-Level language that can use a webkit view @NicholasSmith: I know, but AFAIK, QT-Webkit makes your app much larger; besides, I don't really like the ethos/license of QT. Still an option though, I am considering it.
Dec 2	comment	Functional Low-Level language that can use a webkit view @Ryathal: this is exactly what I want, only two things; 1 - this has to work offline, 2 - I want to make use of local capabilities such as filesystem (there is a file browser in the app)
Dec 2	comment	Functional Low-Level language that can use a webkit view thing is most people don't really understand "prototype-based", plus I don't really care about the prototyping part, what I do care is that they are functional in the broad sense, like described here: stackoverflow.com/questions/3962604/…. I edited my question as per your suggestion nonetheless.
Dec 2	revised	Functional Low-Level language that can use a webkit view edited the references to "functional languages" as suggested
Dec 2	revised	Functional Low-Level language that can use a webkit view added links
Dec 1	comment	Functional Low-Level language that can use a webkit view I am not very strict on the meaning of functional language. What I mean is a language where functions are first-class citizens (like js). And this is not the titanium I mean. I will edit my question and add the correct links

Nov 27	comment	Create my own database system I am following the steps you suggested. 1,2,3 are no problem. However, I am stumped by #4. In the case of large amounts of data, how would I load in memory only the relevant parts? I thought of storing everything as binary data and keep another index file, but what if the user is not querying by index? I still would have to loop through the whole file...I guess it's time for another question

Nov 25	comment	Create my own database system And for anyone coming here looking for the same answers: I find flockDB to be the best candidate to learn, the codebase is really small, the code very readable (although I don't speak scala) and easy to understand.
Nov 25	comment	Create my own database system Very nice indeed. I was on the verge of accepting this. I didn't because I thought yannis's answer to be more to the point, and more likely to help people having the same question. But this was definitely encouraging. Thanks a lot.

Nov 25	comment	Create my own database system This is super! Even more coming from you :) I'd like to accept almost each other answer but since I gotta pick one this has to be it. `I'm expecting a comment with a link to your repository when you're done`: most definitely! Thanks again, to you and everyone else, this was really uplifting.
Nov 25	comment	Create my own database system @YannisRizos Agreed. This was not my intention either. Sorry if I offended you and thanks for the severe but useful help & advice.
