Can you elaborate on that? Why does Unicode suck for Japanese text?

What about lwn.net?

Did you report that? It seems you should rather discuss that on the gcc mailinglists with the gcc developers.

I guess the reason for Google to start contributing to Clang and using it for their tools is the availability of the frontend. As far as I know the GCC developers made it extra hard to separate the frontend from the compiler because they fe

Why is the competition not-so-friendly? I believe GCC has already improved due to Clang at least a lot of the error message improvements in the last releases seem to be inspired by Clang and GCC has finally added Plugin support.

No. I'd rather like to see Linus talk about Linux (or git) and Bjarne talk about C++. That would be far more interesting than having them fight a flame war over such a silly issue as C vs. C++.

That's just the question of having a license. Not whether the implementation is open source.

Microsoft is threatened. Selling Office (and Windows) licenses is the backbone of Microsoft and that's what's financing all the other adventures. Large companies have to buy Office licenses for every workstation. Even with large customer di

You can have all of that in Emacs and probably in vim as well. See ctags/etags, cedet, ropemacs (refactoring Python), xrefactory (refactoring C and C++), wrangler (refactoring Erlang), etc.

No, I'm treating OSX as a UNIX. It is advertised as such. I know that you can use the app bundles. But they are only useful for GUI applications. I usually run applications like octave or gnuplot from the terminal or other applications (e.g

I prefer Linux over OS X as well. The OSX userland is a strange mixture of GNU and BSD tools in sometimes ancient versions. OSX has a UNIX certification but there are some bugs in their POSIX API or even missing functions like clock_gettime
