It worked reasonably well – well enough to demonstrate the feasibility of such a system. It was generally agreed that it was something we would like to develop.

As there was still plenty of work to do on the IDE for 8.0, the tutorial was put on hold for a while (albeit returned to periodically to make sure it still vaguely worked, and to make some of the generalisations it needed).
