I just read yesterday an old issue (March 2003) of the excellent
"RB Developer" magazine, in which Joe Strout was saying that given
the structure of the new compiler (2 layers or something like it),
creating a compiler for any different platform would take just few
weeks, independently of the processor.
Doesn't seem to be the case with Intel based Mac nor Pocket PC.
Is it more difficult than planned? or what that a statement in the
heat of the moment?
By the way, I'm not making an argument, just trying to learn from
more kwnoledgeable than myself.
Several things :
1) additional of Intel based Macs to the mix of platforms
2) Cocoa
3) complete rewrite of the IDE in RB starting with RB 2005
I'd suspect that some of these things plus the regular updates to
existing platforms have simply meant that adding new targets has
taken a lower priority.
Not that they don't want to add them, just they haven't at this point
