Adam Fedor of GNUstep Says Stuff

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-about-things dept.

JgiSaw writes "GNUstep provides an Object-Oriented application development framework and tool set for use on a wide variety of computer platforms. It is based on the original OpenStep specification provided by NeXT, Inc. (now owned by Apple and endorced into MacOSX). OSNews is hosting an interview with Adam Fedor, of the GNUstep project, where Adam mentions among others that GnuStep has support for the MacOSX API too, which will make porting MacOSX applications to Linux much easier."

  1. Forget porting, how good is the API? by astrashe · · Score: 4, Flamebait

    How does this graphics portion of the API compare to MFC?

    I'm not a strong GUI programmer, but I've heard people say that MFC is more robust and powerful than the APIs we have in Linux. But I've also heard people rave about programming NeXT.

    Is anyone here able to put ideology aside and give a comparison based on real experience?

      "MFC is like having sex while wearing 7 condoms."

      Then Java probably is like having sex while wearing a baseball glouse ?
