werkkzeug was used for creating kkrieger. It has been on slashdot a long time ago. In bitjam 39 boyc of Conspiracy mentions that werkkzeug started a revolution in the demoscene.
I used to play with lego bricks myself when I were young, and these days 15 years later, I have returned to my roots, and is working on a graphics program that uses this idea, but limited in 2 dimensions. Its kind of a.werkkzeug clone for Mac. Still alpha quality. http://toolboxapp.com/
The people that has made.werkkzeug is a team named farbrausch. They have made some incredible things, such as.kkrieger a 96k FPS. This is a great tribute to lego bricks. From a programming view point its some really challenging the stuff these guys are doing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.kkrieger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.werkkzeug
The lego brick idea are probably also used elsewhere in the software world?
Anyways, this thread is about hardware and the bricks in TFA are nice.
Interesting article link.. im going on 3 week vacation to us, so only have brief time to answer now.
What I wanted to say with my reply in the first place (I know it was a little evil.. sorry java), was that sometimes people forgot that there exists small alternatives (I know my editor doesn't have 0.1% of the features in eclipse).
Huge editors may confuse people which wants to learn programming. BTW: we have reached a point where vim also has grown huge. How do I define huge? If you cannot overview the full source code, and have no clue where to modify it to suit fit own needs.
Agree, sometimes huge editors are needed. Im just confused and believes small editors are overlooked.
I also unsuccessfully tried installing other jvm's.. iirc it was name devil-something.. or kaffe.. not sure. These were all unsuccessful, but furtunatly failed quickly.
jdk 1.3 took half an eternity, and occupied 3 gigabytes. I could have settle with a less optimized application, and I would still be happy.
it hasn't been a pleasure for me to deal with java freebsd.
Though I managed to install java, and run that application which I wanted to try out (FOP which crashed every second time).
compiling for so long, makes people worry if something are wrong.
my big problem is really java.. it took a whole day to compile on my 700MHz freebsd box. I had to fill in lots of personal info, in order to be able to download java. Thats when I really started to hate java.
Please feel free to extend the VMS chapter with more examples of logicals, and how the differ from unix/amiga. VMS & OpenVMS
I don't feel comfordable writing about VMS, because I have absolutely no experience with it.
I know of Amiga and Unix.. and thats about it.
If you have handson VMS experience, then submit text. Thanks in advance:-)
Another great idea in VMS is the ability to INSTALL a new command on an equal footing with those existing. This feature eliminates most of the need for $PATH.

Ah, thanks many times :-)
somehow I have never relized there were a download page.
any tools for downloading all of the STL site?
I love Ruby.
thanks for thinking of linux.
AEditor can syntax color most Ruby
ScreenShots.
I hope won't disapoint you too much.

Thanks

Im not really uptodate with gcj.. (will check gcj out).
Thanks for the hint

Eclipse are just huge.. and lacks a good editor.

Simon Strandgaard
tell me how is eclipse more than an editor?
I know it has refactoring capabilities, what worries me about it, is that eclipse are heavy and big.

Simon Strandgaard
I have written an editor that can do syntax coloring in only ~3000 lines of code.
I hate java!!
screenshots of my editor
judge yourself... does eclipse really sux?

Which alternatives does there exists?
How is this better than the other alternatives?

Submit text to the OpenVMS wikipage if you wish.

BTW: anyone which dare to write a comparison between VMS's logicals and Unix's environment-variables? Are VMS logicals more secure? Wikipage Of VMS.
