- pavlov 13y agoThanks for the reply, it's definitely interesting stuff. Why invent Eo to unify the EFL object models, rather than standardizing on something that would be compatible with the common Linux GUI platforms? It seems like a total waste of time to reinvent something like a DBus access library, when this kind of basic plumbing work has been done a dozen times already... With a compatible object system, Enlightenment could build on existing and widely-used libraries from Gnome or Qt. What exactly is Tizen going to be, and how does Enlightenment factor into it? Ever since the first Tizen announcement, it was said that HTML5 will be its userland API. Are native Enlightenment apps also supported on some devices? Is Tizen reincarnating the strange twisty path of WebOS - moving beyond smartphones to trying its luck on all sorts of embedded widgets? Using Tizen on Electrolux machines sounds rather like HP's plan to use WebOS on printers...
