Rasga-me o peito, ó Fortuna! com triângulos do espelho por mim partido! Destrói esse vidro que reflectia um sonho – tão puro e brilhante como um raio de Sol. Espeta-mo com força, como uma faca, fundo no meu coração. Ele está como eu: cançado da dor de repousar(!). Apaga-me os olhos, que já não...

Platform Abstraction

The best approach for builing the graphical interface framework for Diamond is to use the core  from an existing library such as from, _e.g._, Qt, GTK or wxWidgets. There is no need to repeat the effort of communication with the underlying platform window system, this would require a lot of tedious work to solve the inumerous technical issues. Thus, the imported core should be integrated into the Diamond as a platform abstraction layer and provide the generic structural primitives for builind a higher abstraction.

IDEA: application and file-system

It would be wonderful if the project design could follow its logic according to file-system architecture where it is placed.

Creating a virtual file-system could be a nice solution for this. For example, if you define some namespace inside your application this namespace could be reflected in the real (id est, virtual) file-system during compilation/interpretation of source code. The same would happen with all the objects within the realm.
