I believe it does require C++11, due to std::nullptr_t and r-value references (&&), but that might be it. It's not a show stopper though since everyone should have a c++11 compiler now (even Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, which still has paid support I believe).
> One thing I like about the C++11 compilers like GCC 4.9 is they build code magnificently faster than recent editions
Kind of reminds me of gcc 2.95 which people kept around for the compiler speed. They would use gcc 3.x for the warning support and then compile with gcc 2.95 after fixing the warnings :).
Definitely! VB.Net is basically "dead" and F# will never really reach critical mass.
Also I was under the impression that GNUstep's Wayland support was experimental at best. I believe it's very incomplete, at least that's what the readme says: https://github.com/gnustep/libs-back/tree/master/Source/wayl...

This is kind of like 3rd grade English. What would be required to go beyond that?
Ok, but seriously I don't believe this will ever happen and I don't really think this is a language debate nor do I want to engage in one.
This is about putting critical infrastructure connected to the internet that's running an operating system that you can't trust out of the box. Since the Windows OS is susceptible to so much malware you need all these third party services (which you also can't trust or audit, but it's absolutely better than not having anything) on top of the OS.
There was a whole host of companies that had zero problems, not because they're using Rust, but because they have much better security practices and quality infosec employees.
It's not a perfect system, but it's better than leaving them homeless. Maybe it's the model we need to follow for our own homeless.
1. It's pretty tightly integrated with their custom IDE. There was no CMake or Meson or anything else to use another IDE.
2. I ran into a strange issue where menu bars didn't render on a obscure X11 window manager (cwm, the OpenBSD one). Qt, GTK, FLTK Apps had no problem here.
This is the approach I take with my C and C++ projects, although I've swapped meson out for CMake. I still have my CMake projects generate pkg-config files as well so that I don't force CMake on any consuming projects (just because I suffered with CMake doesn't mean you have to, although you can as well :))
Ok, sure but if you can't expect the decades-long, underbuilt system of behavioral health to change quickly they may have to rollback/repeal measure 110.
I'm glad measure 110 allowed them to build a 16 bed detox center, but it seems like building those is also a "decades-long" process (?). A quote in the article indicates that one person "drove 250 miles from Eastern Oregon to Recovery Works because it's where she was able to get a bed". I am happy that she was able to get treatment but this also seams to indicate that the treatment options are underbuilt.
The other major problem is getting people to make the decision to voluntarily use them. I don't know how they solve that...

It might not be too bad. I feel like there are a lot of little web assembly projects running on various sites that you could easily use. For a retro project I am working on I needed the MASM 5.00 reference manual and the site had PCjs running on it. Archive.org has there own web assembly emulator as well.
It's certainly not competing but SerenityOS probably has more mind share and development than ReactOS. However I do not know how well Serenity runs on real hardware or if that's even the focus. Overall Serenity has a similar aesthetic without the backwards win32 compatibility. Maybe someone will port wine to SerenityOS...
While it's great for a child to have it in an emergency, these days phones are more likely to be used as a constant stream of TikTok, Reels, or YouTube shorts by children.
