I said any systems programming language, and stated the rules, so I gather you don't want to play this game after all. > Or what about you do an audio or video codec? Or an operating system? There are already plenty of examples out

Sadly it was a very lousy port, if I remember correctly instead of properly supporting Linux, they used Wine to make it work, thus it had quite a few issues. Secondly, it was trying to sell developer tools to a community that rather spend o

You may compile, linking binary libraries compiled with different versions is a different matter, especially if there are relevant changes between versions on either the standard library, or other dependencies.

I know Python since version 1.6, the reputation I guess is mostly because a large majority doesn't read the well written documentation, and mostly use beginner level constructs. Python is C++ level complexity, when one fully understand

I have no idea how Bluesky works as native app, always used the mobile Web version. Same applies to every other social media web sites I use, and yes I need to click away the banner that regularly asks to install the native app, which would

As someone that has used pre-paid phones most of my life, starting with TMN Mimo in 1997, I have always replaced my devices when they break down or got stolen, and that was it. Back in the day there were no updates anyway, until Symbian or

Spot on, my smart watch is an Amazfit, the built-in apps for sport, driving the music player, and reading msgs are enough. I agree reply is useless, it isn't even possible on this one, however it is good only as a reminder as sometimes

In fact AdWords is the reason Dart was still around when Flutter came to be.

It eats the market indeed, and also presents business opportunities for folks like myself, jumping in writing C++ addons, or completely replacing it with Java, .NET, Go, Rust,....

There are several clues that the reasons were more political than monetary, including some former team members like Jake Warton remarks on Dart. Note that Dart or Flutter are nowhere to be found on Android developer documentation.

Which kind of proves the point I made elsewhere about ASP.NET Ajax, as Blazor in spirit is a kind of WebForms 2.0/Silverlight.

It has always been sub-par to Delphi, e.g. VCL, FireMonkey and COM interop are all done in Delphi, probably they got tired to do OWL and TV twice in both languages previously. Yet it still manages to be better than Visual C++, in the Visual

In Germany, in this case selling shovels if you want to take the example literally is selling construction machines, or renting them, versus having guest workers digging the holes. Naturally we can't use figures of speech.

I can assure you that Turbo Pascal in Portugal was a bit more than that, because around 100 euros in today's money was the price with students discount. As owner of a few versions with student pricing.
