Unleashing the power of Lucene on your code

Today we are releasing another important update to CWAB. The Lucene search engine is now integrated into CWAB providing powerful search functionality to users.

This is an initial integration of lucene, currently indexing is a manual process done by right-clicking a file/folder and selecting Index. In the future automated indexing would be added.

In addition, the app creation process has been significantly improved. It used to take up to two minutes to create an app, that process is now much improved by moving most of the app creation process to the background.

We've also added alpha-level integration of the NetRexx language.

CWAB uses the excellent CodeMirror editor. For syntax highlighting we used the Go language mode as a starting point and added the NetRexx keywords. Unfortunately we don't have the resources at the moment to devote to building a fully functional NetRexx mode, but if anyone wants to do that, we'll be happy to integrate.

We also integrated the JSR-223 implementation of NetRexx so that it can be used to build applications on the CWAB platform. Unfortunately the current implementation is quite buggy. We encounter classloader issues when certain objects where placed on the CWAB argument map. Basically there is a problem dealing with objects bounded to JSR-223 scripting engine. In general the behavior seems erratic.

We are tentatively including NetRexx support by default, however depending on interest level we may relegate NetRexx support to optional, meaning a user would have to manually enable support.

Declarative Programming With AI/LLMs

What Is Declarative Programming Broadly speaking, there are two ways to program/instruct a computer to perform a task, they are imperative vs declarative programming. Imperative programming is what we do the most, we write all the code necessary for the computer to perform a task such that the only thing left for the computer to do is fetch and execute CPU instructions. If you are using Java,C#, Javascript...etc you are doing imperative programming. Declarative programming is a higher-order form of programming, we instruct the computer to perform a task but otherwise let it "figure out" how to do it. Declarative programming requires some sort of software based execution engine. Whereas with imperative programming our code gets compiled into some machine/byte code and then run by the CPU, declarative programming requires a layer of software that does the "magic" that allows you to use it without having to write the precise logic for completing tasks. I would guess...

Building a Youtube video portal with AI

In Solvent we are focused on effectively combining the following modes for authoring web apps: Code-Centric Lowcode/No code AI CodeGen/Assist In this post we are going to showcase app authoring degrees-of-freedom as a requirement for fully realizing the benefits of combining these modes/perspectives. Demo: building a video portal Our prompts : Video walk-through Part 1: Video walk-through Part 2: Video portal live : Built with combined modes of Lowcode/No code, Code-Centric, AI CodeGen/Assist.

Integrating AI CodeGen With Low Code Application Development - Part 2

In this post we follow up from the previous AI CodeGen integration into a Lowcode environment, which was a manual process. In this post we showcase the new direct AI integration support, then follow that up with using that integration to automate the process of issuing a prompt and generating a Lowcode app. Part 1 - Basic AI Integration Demo (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) Part 2 -CodeGen and Lowcode Integration via automation using all three models.
