I'm only a user and an ex "mac evangelist". I don't have your first-hand experience, but I agree with you fully. Apple is not a good example here and it is sad to say for a company which has such glorious past products (thinking of both Apple and NeXT). Still, supporting a new compiler can be good for us, if it doesn't have side-effects. We already have difficulty having obj-c support included! Latest sunfreeware gcc package... removed it! After many years! Riccardo _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
