At Siggraph, Frederick Brooks stopped by my booth. He was legitimately asking
about our 3D products, but I was stunned to meet him. I'm not impressed by
"celebrities" but Brooks is someone I can respect. A friend of mine started
talking to him about what improvements in languages have been made in recent
years… Brooks said that he didn't think much had truly changed since the
jump from assembler to procedural languages. 🙂
And BTW, I had to fork out for the Metaware / Pharlap 32-bit compiler system
for some PC development. Do you have any consolations or words of advice that
would make me feel better or worse about this $1K purchase? Any thoughts on
Symantec C++ for Windows? It's just the newest version of Zortech, right?
