| <JimDaFish> | c apps u make can be compiled for the mac no?
|
| [DrgdHmstr] JimDaFish: No, macs can only compile programs written in perl or befunge. that's where there isnt as much software available for it. developers tend to commit suicide before they finish a project
|
| <JimDaFish> | that's no good
|
| <JimDaFish> | so there's no c available on the mac?
|
| [DrgdHmstr] that's right, when you buy a mac you're supporting suicide.
|
| [DrgdHmstr] no the makers of c signed an exclusive contract with IBM in the 80s
|
| [DrgdHmstr] well sun was going to support java on mac osx but they had a falling out over using powerpc cpus which dont run java
|
| [DrgdHmstr] but that was back then
|
| [DrgdHmstr] now there's just no way for them to be able to catch up after not having supported it for so long
|
| [DrgdHmstr] i hear there's one or two open source projects on sourceforge for doing it, but they're still in the planning stages
|
| [DrgdHmstr] nothing usable yet
|
| <JimDaFish> | that's why macs look so shitty i guess
|
| <JimDaFish> | never got much beyond their version of DOS
|
| *** JimDaFish (~Jim@207.112.84.88) has left #c |
