Writing System 6 software with C++17? Now that's an interesting version of retrocomputing. Are we getting more Slack clients for old systems/operating systems?

- asveikau 7y agoThis is one reason I am glad gcc is retaining at least nominal support for old architectures. Clang is great for example, but c++ has changed a lot in the current decade, and clang will not target m68k. GCC allows for interesting retrocomputing experiences. I keep saying I will power up my old Sun or my 68k Mac running a/ux and try to write something for them. Though having free time is the limiting factor for me.
