OS X View?

 [1/17] from: dada::gecko::verizon::net at: 10-Dec-2002 16:58


Please?! ;) I got my wife a new iBook, so now the iMac is mine. Jaguar is installed. It's a web development/geek computer lover's dream. Now, all it needs is Rebol. Chant it with me: Rebol on X! Rebol on X! ... (repeat). ;) sd

REBOL/view on X. REBOL/View on X. I am very interested in trying out MacOS X, but I am also very interested in trying out the new Amiga. If View works on X when I get the cash for my new machine I will go Mac, else I will go Amiga. Carl, you control my future! Enjoy!!

Love to have rebol for OSX. I'm switching over soon... (after using my mom's imac)

MacOS X is a fantastic system for the programming. I abandoned Linux for the system of Apple and my new computer is an iBook G3/800. All it needs is Rebol ;-) Regards Olivier :-)

Hi Sabin,
> Please?! ;)
Pretty please?! :-) Since RT announced that they were definitely going to support OS X I have been hoping for an early Christmas present. Though I suspect that was being a bit too optimistic on my part. :-)

View works nicely on a 24-bit screen on Amithlon, so it should work well on the AmigaOne. They are considering making Python an alternative to ARexx for the AmigaOne. Regards -- Don Cox [doncox--enterprise--net]

Hi Don, Could you somehow more describe the speed of View under Amithlon vs for example under Windows? I'm curious how it behaves under this emulation. regards, Cyphre

I do agree with this point of view. I am user of Mac OS X and Rebol, and I will migrate to python for developing in Mac OS X. Miguel Lopez On 12/11/02 8:17 AM, "olivier auverlot" <[olivier--auverlot--ac-lille--fr]> wrote:

OT: Re: Re: OS X View?


Hi, I that is why I say the fail safe route would be AmigaOne. ;-) Amiga said you would be able to run existing apps that were written in C and aren't hardware specific to the Classic Amiga Hardware. Hehe, that means REBOL. ;-) I am just so sick of M$ Windoze, I mean, if you want to do away with spyware, do away with the mother of them all, and get another OS. ;-) Of course there is going to be Xandros, but Linux doesn't entirely thrill me. So, either Mac or Amiga. I am a graphic designer and Mac has all of the tools for Graphic Design, so if it is possible to Mac then I can go straight to work. If I can't get Mac (because I must have REBOL) then I will write my own Graphic Design software for Amiga. ;-) Anybody out there got the SDK? I have looked at it and lusted a couple of times and had I not seen that email about REBOL and Carl on the Amiga Dev ML, I would be programing in C Storm instead of REBOL right now. ;-) Ammon Johnson --- CIO Addept ------------------ (www.addept.ws) 435-616-2322 -------- (ammon at addept.ws)

Ben Hermans of Hyperion software is responsible for those decisions (I could be wrong, though). His is a small team, so whoever you spoke to certainly could relay that back to him. -- Sincerely, | The problems of two little people don't amount to Ed Dana | a hill of beans in this crazy mixed-up world!

It's responsive. Not as fast as Windows, but it is slowed down by Amithlon's JIT compiler. No shocker there. -- Sincerely, | The problems of two little people don't amount to Ed Dana | a hill of beans in this crazy mixed-up world!

Why not both? And Perl too. Somebody has already done code so that Python can talk to the "ARexx" ports. Rebol would just need equivalent code. Python20.lha is on Aminet. I was planning to look at it over Christmas. Regards -- Don Cox [doncox--enterprise--net]

Sorry, I can't help much. My Windows machine is much slower than the Amithlon machine and I use it less and less. So if I say View is faster on Amithlon than on Windows, that will only be on the hardware here. What was very noticeable was that View is spectacularly better on Amithlon than on the Amiga 4000. Not only the speed, but on the A4000 it runs in an ugly 8 color mode (or was it 16 colors? - anyway, not 256). Regards -- Don Cox [doncox--enterprise--net]

Thanks for the info! I'm running View on 16-bit screen on A4000 with 68040 at 40Mhz and Cybervision3D(old S3VirgeDX chip with 4Megs) and the speed is comparable to View on Windows based PC box at approx. 66-90Mhz. So I was just speculating that speed of View on AmigaOS(under Amithlon) running let's say on PC at 1.5-2GHz should be comparable with the Win version on the same machine. Regards, Cyphre

Also, maybe you'll want to compare the size of Python with that of ARexx. ;-) I think AmigaOS deserves REBOL. (Then, nobody stops you to use Python or whatever on it; I'm just talking about was is considered to be part of the OS.)

On that note: my Amithlon machine is the exact same machine as my Windows box; I simply swap hard drives when I want to boot one or the other. If anyone wants me to do some benchmarks, send me the programs and I'll be glad to post the results. -- Sincerely, | The problems of two little people don't amount to Ed Dana | a hill of beans in this crazy mixed-up world!
