First, GMDX it's amazing.

Second, there's Open Deus EX (I think not GMDX compatible yet) and DX-Rust, which it is.

I still play to that game, and it's my favourite among Slashem and some few interactive fiction ones.

OpenDE: Fast, vanilla https://github.com/jarmitage99/OpenDE

DX-Rust: Slow, AI slop, but it can be improved. It supports GMDX https://github.com/Grissyelda/dx-rust

If you use Recomp Launcher you can install these with ease, even on Steam Decks.

Every Arftcraft app and non Artcraft related software clones trying to reuse the Artcraft libs (craft-libs) already have everything ready to use.

BGE underperformed in my machine a lot, since AMD Athlon days. Godot it's far better.

Cool but Blender's interface is not a general purpose UI. EGUI/GPUI and the rest are.

You would be surprised with os8088.

jcs@openbsd does a lot of coding...

Most Ultimas can be played under Scummvm, and IV for free:

Just use Vice to play it in any platform.

Theme Hospital -> CorsixTH.

Artcraft it's doing that in every software application;

> so you add a scripting layer, maybe integrate a little Lua VM or something that lets you execute JavaScript?

Every Arftcraft software can be command line driven and it's still fast and small compared to your bloated crap.

Kopete did that under 100MB 15-20 years ago.

GNUStep of course, back in the day it was part of a GNUStep application bundle.

In my country in order to earn a true CS degree you need to learn both Chemistry and EE.

Also check the Homebrew CPU running a custom port of Minix 2 with in-place ported C compilers, linkers and assemblers.

You forgot QuickLisp+Ultralisp, which is like PIP and PIP with daily builds or whatever it's called in Python.

I always cared with ZRAM under GNU/Linux (I own an n270 netbook with 1GB of RAM and a NUC with 8GB but a Pentium Silver CPU, nothing fancy). Thus, Waterfox with their new Rust based ad blocking engine was a beast, even more with WebGPU enabled and NoScript, just enabling JS for the essential, if any. On top of that, the tab suspending extension. As I program in Rust I need every bit of RAM, even if I disable most debugging options at ~/.config/cargo.toml and I set the build jobs to 1 with "-j1 ".

On the netbook, well.. CWM, UXterm, Dillo, CLI/TUI mail, usenet, IRC and so on clients, groff, nsxiv, mpv, MuPDF... it runs snappier than the NUC for what it does. Programming? Golang for networking stuff -security, not like Rust, but far better than C-, simple C99 for small software, or S9/JimTCL. Otter Browser for emergencies (JS pages from public institutions/govts in my country).

Wordpad to Word. Ted (GTK2 build, it's an RTF editor) to Libreoffice Writer.

Without looking at the article, it might be IR related.

Which C standard? ANSI C? C99?

Like inform7 but irreproducible and shitter on every iteration.

Both, actually. First Artcraft was an AI media producing tool, now you have both Artcraft the suite controlled over MCP and the mentioned tool probably interleaved.

Design->produce and for advanced edition either by an AI or an user, the tools.

Unreal 6 will ditch C++. So, be prepared. And given the current vuln in Ruby On Rails and ImageMagick, better if the convert everything from IM/GM to FFMPEG to Rust. Oh, and libvirt+Qemu, for sure. That's granted.

1) C is no C++, C89 and C99 are good enough for legacy/embedded systems. Also, C is the Ur example for anything. The golden standard. Like English for business and STEM. Not the best language, maybe, but it runs everything technical.

2) C++ it's a monster which should died long ago.

3) Go should take the role of small tools such as some services and mail/IRC clients, especially for CLI/TUI. Or stuff like urlview. Rust the big ones (media encoding, PDF libraries, browsers...)

4) Unreal 6 will ditch c++. Good riddance.

Waterfox switched their AD blocking engine to Rust. It's several times faster than UBo.

I'd love a Flatpak... and maybe Gopher support in the browser ;)

So, like Artcraft.

>Flatpak

It was about time. BTW, when this gem uses EGui instead of QT6 (nothing against QT, but once everything uses Rust, it will be no reason to keep it) it will shine.

There's a PHP implementation written in Rust.

Every mirror will know that because of HTTPD logs.

I stopped to care since Flatpak. Pull down the same dependencies everywhere. Oh, disk usage, right. It's 2026, and BTRFS either compresses stuff and/or deduplicates.

Get an inmutable distro. For everything else, Flatpak. For gaming, AppImages are not sandboxed but you can always create a user account for gaming and logout/login again to avoid nasty surprises.

For instance, I use RecompLauncher as an AppImage, but I launch the recompilations themselves from a desktop shortcut after closing the launcher to get every CPU cycle for the game.

Krita has a Flatpak, it will run well under Fedora Atomic.

Lutris handles this for you.
