In a sense, that's what LiveCode opens up for us with Open Language, a
chance to use OS APIs directly.
And smartly, if we choose to use APIs Apple later deprecates, it's up
to us rather than RunRev to update our scripts to conform with Apple's
policy-du-jour.
This is why it might not be a bad thing if Livecode can roll its own
wherever possible so that Apple's, Microsoft's or Slugworth's
policy-du-moment doesn't f**k up our work.

Piece together? You should stop using Arch and switch to Ubuntu,
Mint, or Fedora.

(that's probably only funny to Mark Wieder)
Bl**dy hilarious to the "other" Linux user out here . . .
"Aksherly" . . . if one believes the murmurs on the Linux grapevine Arch
is the "coming-man"
while Ubuntu might be best described as "the coming-man already gone" as
there is a slight feeling
that Slugworth and Co. have got a bit too arrogant and stopped listening
to their installed base.
I am currently doing reasonably well with Ubuntu Studio 14.10 as it uses
XFCE without all sorts
of funninesses that seem to crop up with Xubuntu, and don't have the
faux Windows 8 kiddy-kit
of Ubuntu [or is it Windows 8 that has the faux Ubuntu kiddy-kit?].
