People will pay alot of money for a good compiler.
- schtog 18y agocool didnt know. but i guess especially companies dont mind paying for good programmingenvironments.
- mudge 18y agoWhy would they pay when there are perfectly good compilers already available for free, such as GCC?
- lbrandy 18y agoThere are a million reasons but let me give you a simple one: if it can produce faster code. Giving 10% performance improvement in some fields (games?) is worth a metric buttload of money.
- oditogre 18y ago3% in games would be worth a metric buttload of money, where the difference in 'playable on N Ghz CPU' and 'playable on N - 0.2 Ghz CPU' could double your potential buyers.
