Thanks. One thing is for sure, Rev will be the best way to go when it
comes to bulletproofing your code against any processor architecture
transitions.
One more reason to spend more time developing in Rev instead of using
XCode.
I was watching the WWDC keynote webcast yesterday
(<http://stream.apple.akadns.net/>) and as Jobs was discussing different
categories of porting difficulty he noted "scripts, Java -- they just
work", and I thought to myself: I feel sorry for everyone who isn't
using Rev. :)
I guess that's my own personal bottom line on the whole Mactel thang:
Steve Jobs doesn't ask me what's good for Fourth World when he makes his
decisions. When they work for me that's cool, and when they cost me
extra money (and more than a few of his decisions have) he doesn't stay
up late worrying about me. He does what he feels is good for Apple, and
if I still think Mac is a better value I'll keep buying. I'm typing
this on a PowerBook.
So I've learned from Jobs: it's all about me. I don't need to worry
about his company; I have to trust he'll do what's best for Apple and if
it goes well that's great, and if he winds up not selling a single
Moto-powered Mac for a year it won't affect my company in any way.
As Rev developers, we're immune to the impact of OS vendor whims. We're
truly platform-independent: our customers aren't just Mac users, or
Windows users, or Linux users; in the broader view they're anyone using
a computer.
So will this be good or bad for Apple? I don't know; I shot my crystal
ball predicting this switch 7 years ago.
But taking a cue from Steve Jobs, the more relevant question for us is
"Will it be good for me as a developer?" And thanks to Rev, the answer
is "It doesn't affect me."
