A+ has been GPLd for 15 years or so now, and the body has been cooling since 2008 or so when the last change was made IIRC - see http://aplusdev.org http://aplu

I vaguely remember it was even packaged in Ubuntu multiverse and/or Debian at some point.
- beagle3 7y agoCorrection now that I'm not on my phone: A+ was GPLed in jan 2001, making this 19 years ago - and indeed, the last change was in 2008 for 64-bit support, but at that point that project had been already quite stagnant for 5-6 years -- changes and releases were all concerned with documentation and newer build environments. The "electric" GUI concept (The "+" in "A+" - without the GUI it was just called "A") was much simplified in k2 - it was fast, simple and extremely effective even though it didn't really look good - it is, in fact, the only environment I've ever had a chance to use where having a GUI is as simple or simpler than writing a batch program -- see e.g. 15-Puzzle[0] or the spring simulation[1] (even though the canonical example is the S- spreadsheet which you can find at the same site).

- kick 7y agoI mean, yeah, it's not very warm, but it, xxl and APLX are pretty much the newest dead APLs.
