general question about riscos.

But, hey, if you would rather believe the illogical and asinine concept that RISC OS was written in a high level language and that this code was thrown away once the assember source had been created…go for it. I mean, really… do you think we’re all working from a hacky disassembly or something?

Well it has been though in high level language.

Then those guy has been playing with compiler, assembly, modifying it by hands, optimizing, testing, benchmark, those guy have been doing this for years, so well yeah it would not suprise me at all that not everything has been made by hand either.

I’m not saying it’s what i think, i just said it could seem to make sense.

Not saying that it’s literraly impossible to program in C , or assembler, but still very few people did it, and i don’t think there is much example , or what on which those people based their work on originally.

What i think is more that attempting at ‘decompiling’ the thing could give interesting result, it’s mostly why i mentioned this at first. In a last deseperate attempt at trying to find a method to sort out all those thing that are super useless for the 10 riscos users, and that everyone else needs, like dependency, threads, better memory model/encapsulation, and high level language.

If you can find a better way to sort that out, i’m all hear.

But yeah well i guess it’s just made to say in basic and assembler and people trying to keep it together to run all the old applications without breaking anything.

What i think, and actually know is that those guy were working on compiler, stuff that are smart, very high level, semantic/IA level.

Maybe they wanted to keep this work for further project when they closed acorn and the pc/os station, or didn’t exactly disclose all tools , compilers and stuff they could have used to develop idk.

At this compiler and tools and all were very valuable, maybe they wanted to keep things to do other things on other platform idk.OR that it’s just kind of mix of reeaganged compiled object language or something idk.

You don’t like RISC OS and you don’t like us. What I don’t understand is why you keep repeating the same rubbish over and over. That’s kind of bizarre.

It’s not about what i like or not. It’s about what it can do, and how what it cannot do can be done, period.

The things it cannot do, ok i spotted them clearly, how to do them ok, i have idea, then how to port 20 application and sorting out 120Mo of assembler sources, without any dependency, without anything like hierarchy and people still there singing in hearth it’s fine who needs that, and then asking for the result that even didn’t manage to get in 10 year, and with not breaking anything, and porting the whole thing, yeah really, without doc, without anyone competent to answer anything other than prm manual that doesn’t say anything about it ..

The people what they can do, well it’s not clear. They seem talented in grammar and psychanalysis, and for asking things to be done, but then for anything else, didn’t see much.

It’s Not about argueing that i like things or not, or how the old way is best and no one need thread or corba, or what i like or not, or who i like or not, it’s not the problem here.

Give me solution to do what i want to do, if it need porting application then be more specific about what need to changed, not changed, or otherwise just what is the point of telling thing that are just plain lies, and then expecting that people are all happy and all, and won’t call you on it ?

On our platform, some things are difficult, if not borderline impossible, some things are simpler. Trying to make RISC OS do all the stuff Linux can do is not in the “simpler” category. And, honestly, I think turning it into a Linux clone would be a waste of time, if we wanted to run Linux there are enough versions to pick from already. Coming here with fanciful ideas about a whole load of stuff that is extremely unlikely to happen, and then stressing out when this is pointed out to you, calling us liars repeatedly, insulting us, insulting the people working on RISC OS, insulting the administration – just exactly what kind of reaction did you expect? I’ll tell you what, probably the reason you are still here being rude to us is because we are a much more tolerant bunch than many. But, since your reaction to asking technical questions is to either erase your messages or be rude, it seems fairly clear to me that you don’t actually want any help. I think you just want a reaction.

As I said just now, whatever.

IT’s not about linux.

Look physic engine. They run on game consoles, they have all this.

DirectX have this.

Any browser have this.

VB has this.

Gnome has this.

Android has this.

Boost has this.

Java has this.

flash AS3 has this.

Flex bluider has this.

Every os on the planet and system, game engine on console have this.

Justing figured ricos needed it already decade ago.

You’ just saying it’s a windows or linux things because you have no clue of what it is.

Everyone wants it actually.

So stop saying it’s useless because ‘you’ don’t need it and try to generalize your need to anything that anyone could be wanting to do with a computer.

I’m just stating fact, and i don’t insult anyone.

I don’t talk to people personally, i’m stating fact how i view it, and i don’t see much constructive answer on this.

And yeah it’s kinda bizaarre that all user of planet say the same rubbish about what riscos needs, and that riscos board is just there who needs that, it’s useless, i don’t even know what it is, you must be crazy or needing some kind of pills to speak about that or wanting that on an operating system, clearly.

But yeah i guess it’s better to scorn people away and not answering anything and face up all your lies, i wouldn’t expect much more of such an honnest person such as yourself anyway.
