Nice stuff!
Lots of things to spark immense (and inaccurate) speculation, though.
I'm a bit bothered by you using a whole new GUI library for the IDE. It looks nice and all, but it just doesn't seem right... Then again, it may seem a lot more right based on these questions:
-Would you say this GUI works well for interfaces in games?
-Is this interchangeable with MaxGUI? (As in, change Import brl.maxgui to brl.gxlib, maybe a few tiny changes elsewhere, and get a whole new user interface?)
-You mentioned that MaxGUI looks really ugly in most of desktop Linux. Does gxLib act as the solution to that problem, or do you perhaps have plans to address it more directly? Any thoughts for the possibility of MaxGUI officially with GTK? I realize GTK works a bit differently from others, but perhaps it is manageable via a few tricks. (I'm thinking GTK because it is the prettiest, because Brucey has proven it to be quite definitely possible, and because QTLib has a really scary license)
-Don't bother answering this if you aren't sure or don't want to say, but do you plan to sell gxLib or distribute it for free? (If it's free, then I 100% forgive you for having it as the UI library for the IDE, by the way).
Adding arrays looks fun! Now all I need is somewhere to use it...
