After long talk with many gambas developpers, after years of joy on the use of this language, I want to talk about its future... its persistance.
Benoit for me is a little bit like our Linus. He have done something for itself and it's today one of the better tool ever see. (Umm ... ;-)) Now, for me one thing lock down Gambas... why can't it be more known ? Because it is close to Linux world. Theire is no possibility to use it natively on other system ... this problem what explicitely exposed by RMS in the past in a mail sended to us. Yes in his request he wanted us to make the interpreter generate a cil code for interpreter like java/.net or parrot. Well today we know java isn't a sure way, and we can do things too without. I have a request to Benoit, and i know it's time is precious and like mine rare. I want him to concentrate on make it's code portable... separate specific linux part to allow all our friend that want to help to port gambas to stars to make theire job. By doing this, most people can participate on compiler/interpreter code, by having Gambas on other system we can have more component maker/maintainer. At the end Benoit can take hollidays and come take a Cognac at home . :-) I know this is a huge job as he/we need to take the time to mark all part of the code that is hard linked on Linux system, and then choose a way to separate it to symplify the maintainment Same thing for the toolkits but it's at a first time not the subject of today. Now we have hands that can help... but it can't be done if the code is not structured for. So for the Undred time ... Benoit ... Please, let us helping you. To all, the gambas user/dev, this exchange is for you so even if it take thouthen of mail, please give us your impress and your ideas, your support. Please, don't look at the spelling fault, it will take to many time to you ;-) -- Fabien Bodard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
