Go up one level in this thread


The problem is that you are mixing a few different kinds of computing paradigms
here. Due to the natures of the OS and the program. The GUI, the CLI, Batch
processing and REPL. What you want is a GUI that interfaces to a CLI. And
emulates a REPL on a Batch processor. It's quite a stretch and thats the source
of the percieved inefficiencies. And as for efficiency. If you want to analyze a
heap of positions  the CLI will be just as fast as the GUI version. AFAIK, it
has been shown that a keyboard based command inteface is usually faster than a
GUI one. But the GUI will be percieved as being faster. YMMV.

GUI = graphical user interface
CLI = command line interface
REPL = read eval print loop
Batch = batch processing
