Estaban correct me if I am wrong but AFAIK MACOS GUI is based on opengl and it is hardware accelerated. I hear the same applied for Linux GUIs too in large.
Anyway, my only objection is the fact that we will have twice the code to maintain and more to worry about. As I said I am on macos , I am a mac developer (not pro) still ObjC never made sense for me since it locks me down to a specific platform. It does however make sense to have platform specific code for providing better and smoother support for that platform. So its definetly good to have and thank you for your efforts. Speedwise , I know the subject on optimisation is a huge one and there thousands of ways to speed up specific code. Its a more a practical one, since not to many people work on athens we need to choose one way that makes life easier for everyone and especially people who develop Athens. Part of the sucess of Cairo is that is an easy to understand little library that is very well documented. I would like to see Athens maintain that. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Fwd-do-you-know-what-is-this-tp4681962p4682078.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
