[M3devel] ***SPAM*** RE: Linux/ARM? Android?

[Dragiša Durić]

Is there such thing as overportability ?:) Are we really so desperate to
reach for users and supporters to fight for ones using most obsolete and
obscure hardware/OSes? Outside of what gcc covers?

My mention of LLVM was not "get more platforms" but "get new angle".

  If we all just stick to C, we'll have that, minus all learning and
programming and debugging and packaging and marketing effort for
Modula-3. Don't you think so? And this compares because...

  And you get to talk C with your program when debugging, instead of
M3... How nice :). We can have Modula-3 developers in teams who don't
even need to know Modula-3? 

  m3gdb we need, that is for sure. As for m3cc... There comes LLVM
also... What we need is coordinated effort with gcc|LLVM people so we
can get recognition and "officiality" of our patches. And once for all
stop running behind in versions used.

  All that hardware people are throwing away....
