    Hobbyist licence aside, who would use it?
    Do you have any z hardware lying around to try it on? I don't.

    Interesting!

    Are there any mainframe-newbie friendly resources out there you can recommend? I'd like to know a little more how these boxes work.

    You better have.

    If you don't can use vi or Emacs then you won't be of much use in any project as a developer.

    Don't let that stop you. What is most needed is docs, not code.

  4. Re:developers s/b careful with KDE boxes on Reasoning Behind The KDE League · · Score: 1

    Up until recently, you were right. Trolltech did think it over and it's quite alright to use it now. Check out what RMS wrote about it.

    The thing we should be concerned about is that Qt still is only usable with C++ and that limits your choice and your programming freedom (no political meaning intended) which I don't like.

    Convince the KDE guys to fix that and then I guess KDE could be alright. Until then I code for GNOME.

    If you for some strange reason /like/ C++ you are beyond hope... ;)

  5. Re:KDE motivation... seems odd. on Reasoning Behind The KDE League · · Score: 1

    Talking about talking over and then only provide bindings for C++ (which can cause brain damage after long exposure) doesn't sound that nice a future to me. (giving only one solution and closing the door sounds like M$ to me...)

    I'd like to have a choice when I code. Using GNOME/gtk I can choose /not/ to use C++ and that alony makes my deciscion(sp?) simple.

    GNOME everytime.

  6. Re:Don't forget the developers on Reasoning Behind The KDE League · · Score: 1

    Yeah, sure. But if you want to code in a language that doesn't blows your head of with buffer overflows everytime you code? C just isn't worth the hassle, and a C++ is just badness multiplied.

    Otherwise I guess Qt is good. But I'd prefer gtk since that leaves me a choice, and isn't that one of the points of Free Software?

    That link to your website didn't work. Where do you find those files?

    I'd like to read them.
