Admiral Refuge Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Would anyone be interested in a proper, cross-platform, Eclipse Engine written in C?EDIT: Thanks for your votes, and thanks Stephan for volunteering to lead the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I want this. So. Bad. It would solve the problem of the engine using the depreciated VB6(although C is old, it's timeless really). It would also mean Eclipse faster, and it would be cross platform. What's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 @El:> It would solve the problem of the engine using the old VB6Yes, because VB6 is older than C even though VB6 was programmed in C. Perfect logic right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Then why call VB6 old as if it's a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 @Robin:> Then why call VB6 old as if it's a problem?I see what you mean there. I think Outdated is a better word, as Microsoft has been trying to get rid of it and there's newer versions of VB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myron Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm quite interested. But since I'm not familiar with that Programming Language, I'm wondering if there are certain limits when using this language to make the Engine with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmiguu Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 And who, exactly, is going to program Eclipse in C and still live up to Stephan's standards? Yeah, that's what I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helladen Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 @Robin:> Stephan.Or Elliott Brown/Aero. :)Also it's not really a problem about Visual Basic 6 being old, it's just the IDE, tools, and software it uses are out of date. If Microsoft still supported Visual Basic 6 like they do .NET the language wouldn't be that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Refuge Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Okay man up, who's the sorry chap that voted "no"? :O@Helladen:> Or Elliott Brown/Aero. :)> > Also it's not really a problem about Visual Basic 6 being old, it's just the IDE, tools, and software it uses are out of date. If Microsoft still supported Visual Basic 6 like they do .NET the language wouldn't be that bad.I'm really not concerned with the age of any language or software. One of the fastest programming languages to this day, is FORTRAN77, and it's still very much used in heavy mathematical computing.Things that I'm more concerned with, are problems such as cross-platform, performance, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
