Redact — An Edje Compiler written in Ruby

Redact is an Edje compiler written in Ruby. Unlike the official Edje compiler, edje_cc, Redact doesn‘t read EDC code - it reads Ruby code instead. This means that Redact will allow you to write Edjes in a full-blown programming language.

So why is this a good thing?

With edje_cc, the only way to automate the creation of parts and/or programs is to use CPP macros, which are very limited feature-wise and hard to debug.

Also, it means that syntax errors won‘t go unnoticed anymore :)
