Don't you think intelligent people have better things to do than to rewrite old code, just because Apple's platform lacks important features that have been well

  """Don't you think intelligent people have better things to do than to rewrite old code, just because Apple's platform lacks important features that have been well-known for several decades?""" Yeah, you probably missed the whole point of the comment, TFA, and several other stuff besides. It's not Apple's platform that's the problem, is TeX/LaTeX that is lacking important features. In EVERY platform. People have been hacking them on to it, but having a better codebase to start off, without the assumptions TeX/LaTeX make would really make it so much easier. """The notion that every time we have a new language/platform, we must REWRITE THE WORLD!! is absurd and a huge waste of resources.""" Yeah, good thing that nobody suggested anything like that in the thread. Btw, the notion that you can add your worthless reply without first understanding what the parent poster says is absurd. You should stop making excuses for it.
