1. Re: Solaris & QNX
My question was meant specifically for Solaris on sparcstations, because
it is what we use at work, and it has a great profesionnal user base .
There is a linux port for UltraSparc stations, called ultra-linux (by
redhat)
but I'm not an administrator and I can't do all I want with it. I even
haven't
a station myself, I connect through Exceed (X-connectivity) from my PC
under NT (and I don't have administrator rights on it too...)
That is life. I'm the boss at home, after midnight. when kids and wife are
sleeping. and I am free to sleep on my keyboard... Well. The past weeks
I didn't touch a lot my computer, I must prepare my holidays (important
thing, no?) and play music. I'm an Off-topic guy.
Anyway, about the ports of euphoria, RDS has the sources and only
Rob will do an 'official' port. Using gcc, he has the ability to target a
lot of platforms, as long as he avoids using some hardware specificities
of any platform, bios calls ...
I didn't know haskell. A functional language? what do you do with it?
I did a try with caml last year... it made me love euphoria much more...
