The C programming language was developed in the early '70s. It was always considered a proof of concept, as it was clear to everyone involved that any serious programming lanugage should have a garbage collector. Indeed, Dennis Ritchie is widely known to have said:
"What I would really like is to extend this prototype into a garbage collected, multi-paradigm, modern programming language, supported by a major player in the industry." Of course, the language thus envisioned would later be implemented as C pound (not to be confused with the cloud programming language #C). Let's catch up to 1990 and translate major parts of wayland to the language of the people - haskell. Some early code can be found here: https://github.com/abooij/sudbury Existing wayland clients run without recompilation. Compositors are not supported yet. _______________________________________________ wayland-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/wayland-devel
