[01:56] nobody GTK wasn't covered by standardization as Motif widgets were, a whole other story [01:57] nobody in the meantime i've completely wiped all GUI/X11 from the dependency graph for several reasons [01:58] nobody and that's the real strength of free-software, a POSIX-like base system is available still, for crucial tasks, development and internet [01:58] nobody but this is void, if it wasn't detangled from C++ and components violating standards [01:59] nobody and that's why, for example, portability towards and with TinyCC was extremely difficult, and a major breakthrough ● Oct 31 [02:00] nobody bootstrappable.org too relied upon TinyCC, but they use it only to transition to GCC/binutils/c++ instantly [02:00] nobody for that matter, MICROS~1 is a C++ thing mainly [02:01] nobody which i could live with, if the the base-system profile of critical components had been maintained for pure C-toolchain support [02:01] nobody but it was NOT, not by MICROS~1 of cause, but not by GNU/BSD whoever either [02:02] nobody 9front.org got a system written in C, but it's not ANSI/ISO C and they need their own special compiler, which isn't covered by a verifiable bootstrappbing [02:02] MinceR seems to be more of a botNET/Visual Java ("C#") thing now [02:02] MinceR but they're also taking over Python and they took over Rust also [02:03] MinceR as far as MICROS~1 is concerned, C++ is increasingly the realm of "code we don't dare touch ever again" [02:03] nobody MinceR: which language is .Net/C# interpreter itself implemented with? [02:04] nobody JVM is written in c++ [02:04] nobody system-integration of python is borked, cross-compilation issues, bootstrapping issues, portability issues [02:05] nobody Lua was MUCH less problematic than pythong btw.; although that's not GPL, it's MIT licensed [02:06] nobody at least, i got a python.static compiled/linked with TinyCC, which was an awful hackjob, but it just works(tm) [02:06] nobody since i do need python still, for system-integration with portage tooling [02:07] nobody i too managed to salvage some older Perl version, perl.static, compiled/linked with TinyCC, another insane hackjob [02:07] nobody perl is necessary for GNU autotools, i rather avoided those, but that's too much effort [02:07] MinceR dunno [02:08] MinceR but i bet most MICROS~1 poojets don't hack on it [02:08] nobody this would need a complete overhaul of entire GNU system integration, so i rather keep a perl.static [02:08] nobody i stumbled upon MICROS~1 related utility that i needed, slibtool (to replaced GNU libtool), that simplified a few things [02:09] nobody because i kept the system profile portable and cross-compilable towards any GCC, TinyCC, and various ARCH=x86,aarch32,aarch64,amd64 [02:09] *whatA____ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [02:09] MinceR allegedly the CLR is written in C++ and a bit of assembly [02:09] *whatA____ (~chatzilla@tn63mascp2mak.irc) has joined #techrights [02:10] MinceR so i guess they'll either have to rewrite it or let it become yet another blob of code they don't understand and don't maintain [02:10] nobody well, i'm not opposed to this for as long as i am NOT forced to use any of these types of software, anything that's affected by C++ simplified speaking [02:10] MinceR i just don't want to use their shit anymore [02:10] MinceR i've given them hundreds of new chances and they've failed every single time [02:11] MinceR windows isn't even usable as a gaming platform anymore [02:11] nobody BUT, i'm shocked there is no more base-system profile for any POSIX/GNU/Unix maintained anymore anywhere, which could be driven by a C-toolchain such as TinyCC [02:11] nobody except 9front (which doesn't follow ANSI/ISO C), and since recently Tinyfront [02:11] MinceR C is very low level, i'm not surprised that no one wants to write/maintain complex software in it [02:12] nobody Motif widgets were implemented in C MinceR [02:12] MinceR i've seen some horrible hack written for the purpose of simulating OOP by someone who's afraid of C++, and it was also less usable and less debuggable than C++ [02:12] *whatA____ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [02:12] MinceR who uses motif? [02:12] nobody and motif widgets weren't abandonded for technical reasons, but for political ones [02:12] nobody that's why free/opensource software is pestered with C++/QT/GTK clusterfuck [02:13] MinceR afaik they were abandoned because back then the only implementation was proprietary [02:13] MinceR pretty sure GTK is also plain C [02:13] MinceR (still a massive pile of shit though) [02:13] nobody MinceR: yes, but you can't do a COMPLETE system integration for GTK with TinyCC, because there's a transitive dependency towards C++ [02:14] MinceR even Qt avoids big chunks of C++ and provides its own infrastructure instead [02:14] nobody furthermore GTK got pestered by systemd/dbus, and system-integration is shit [02:14] MinceR it has its own QString and implements signals/slots using its own preprocessor (moc) instead of templates [02:14] nobody what? Qt is written in C++. or am I mistaken? [02:14] MinceR it is [02:14] MinceR but they started back when C++ was a lot more primitive and less portable [02:15] nobody NEVER AGAIN, that's all i have to say about it, QT and whatever, that "free software" is bragging about nowadays [02:15] nobody with things like Libreoffice, sadly [02:15] MinceR iirc it doesn't use the STL that much [02:15] MinceR well, Qt ended up bloated like GTK [02:16] nobody my MAIN argument is another one however, it's the negligence "free software" had abandoned a C-toolchain base-system profile everywhere [02:16] nobody with the two exceptions mentioned, and this niche is that tiny and fringe, it's almost gone [02:16] MinceR i prefer Tk [02:17] nobody i prefer coverage by standardization and long-term stability [02:17] MinceR there's also FLTK [02:17] MinceR FLTK is written in C++ though [02:17] nobody yes [02:18] MinceR again, seems to avoid many C++ features [02:18] nobody motif widgets were C, AND standardized by IEEE even! [02:18] MinceR Tcl/Tk is written in C, though [02:19] *whatA____ (~chatzilla@f954j9cp2ru8e.irc) has joined #techrights [02:19] nobody MinceR: just today i was notified by Siemens my job placement request was denied [02:19] nobody i've provided them detailed documentation, and a reference to my project test site [02:20] nobody this was their answer: "We wish you the best of luck with your career, wherever it may take you."
