"Visualworks Smalltalk,"
Doesn't VW have a "pay us x % of your revenue forever" license (http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/userblogs/cincom/blogView?content=var http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/userblogs/cincom/blogView?con...)?
I am curious as to why any startup would want to accept these terms.
- miked 18y agoWell, I'm not thrilled about it. But getting something out the door is the key. Enjoying the development experience is #2. I can live with a 6% vig for the Cincom guys.
- icey 18y agoOut of curiosity, have you checked out Pharo? It just seems nuts to me to agree to give away such a huge percentage of revenue just for your development stack.
- miked 18y agoI hadn't heard of Pharo before. Thanks for the link. It looks like it might be interesting and I'll keep an eye in it.
