Re: Berlin vs X windows port to the hurd



<<If they consider X "outdated," then they should *also* be expecting
Linux and Hurd to shortly "fall" under the weight of using "outdated"
development languages like C.>>

Come now, comparing X to C is like comparing
a-lot-of-expensive-stones-piled-together to the Taj Mahal.  Perhaps
comparing X to C++ would be more accurate? ;-)

However, almost everything is written for X, and people seem determined
to keep extending it rather than starting over.  Plus, with some of the
newer advances made in XFree 4.0, it's starting to be cleaned up
somewhat...  Even over at GNUstep, there's really very little interest in
writing a new WindowServer.
