- Sub: LateNite Top Ten C++

- A friend compiled this list, and I thought I would share it with the group.
- So here goes...

-
- LateNite in … Top Ten Reasons to Switch MacApp to C++
-
- 10. It's more likely that bugs will be fixed in the C++ compiler then
- in the Object Pascal compiler.
- 9. Turn MacApp into a Black Box. (Look Ma, unreadable source !)
- 8. Steve Burbeck's last wish.
- 7. To test the Pascal to C translation scripts.
- 6. With the gulf war they didn't think anyone would notice.
- 5. To get even with Symantec. (Yeah ! That's the ticket !)
- (Or… As an incentive for Symantec to write a C++ compiler.)
- 4. No one objected ahead of time. (Shame on us !)
- (Or… It is easier to ask forgiveness than obtain permission.)
- 3. Originally MacApp was to be rewritten in Eiffel
- but no one at Apple knew Eiffel.
- 2. Saddam promised to withdraw from Kuwait if MacApp were rewritten in C++.
-
- And the number one reason to switch MacApp to C++ is …
-
- 1. There was some danger of MacApp 3.0 meeting its original schedule :)
