Definitely caught my interest when you suggested separating models/views. Are there any mock ups/pseudo code of the implementation that you're thinking of?

I'd like to see more about the separation of code from view, what you think of describing models with enough info to have generic views, views using standard toolkits (custom, GTK, QT, Windows, MacOS), and a million other things

I tried clicking a link you posted earlier, but I think it said the document was $25.

When I think of models, I consider them as a combination of (a) the data that they store and (b) functions that apply to the data. My ideas are heavily biased by Rails and I've never really done GUI app development.
