- ZenoArrow 11y agoInteresting. I was under the impression it was mostly written in Java, looks like I was wrong. What's the majority of the code written in? C? C++?

- agumonkey 11y agoSame here, hence my question. Probably because Sun bought Star Office, IIRC bundled it with SunOS and with the Java heavy marketing of the time I thought it was a Java program, even though SO is .. old : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarOffice#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarOffice#History http://toastytech.com/guis/sol10staroffice7.png http://toastytech.com/guis/sol10staroffice7.png
- thristian 11y agoLibreOffice descends from StarOffice, an MS Office clone by a German company that was bought by Sun. When Sun bought it, they bolted Java onto it because they were Sun and they bolted Java onto everything, but Java's not integral to the operation.
