Ars Technica: John Sarcusa Mourns the PowerPC John Saracusa weighs in with his thoughts on the PowerPC to x86 transition I suspect we'll see an even split in the Mac technical community: the ones who welcome the change, with open arms, and the ones that will require Steven P. Jobs to personally pry the PowerPC from their cold, dead fingers in 2007. I'm with John on this one: I'm still in stage 4 (denial). |

Goodbye Metrowerks From MW Ron, in a message in the comp.sys.mac.programmer.codewarrior newsgroup:
Codewarrior is now a legacy (as in: dead-end) technology. On one hand, I've always believed that Codewarrior produces smaller/better/faster/better code (with better standards support) than GCC/PowerPC. I, however, have nothing real to back that up, other than "I heard it through the chain" - I don't dive down that deep into the technical aspects of compilers, and I'm no expert C++ programmer either (advanced, yes. expert, no.) If you want an authoritative source, go somewhere else. It could be that GCC 4.0 rocks the world. On the other hand, GCC/Intel is used by a lot more people (so one would assume it would be faster/better than the PowerPC variant of GCC.) At least we can take advantage of that world. It could be that Metrowerks will make plans. Except they Recently sold their Intel technology. Oops. |
