Check out Jerry's new videos

That runrev could export C source would in no way interfere with the ongoing activity of runrev users (should they choose not to export their stacks into C source).

The capacity to output C SOURCE WOULD OPEN THE REACH OF REV USERS TO ALMOST ANY PLATFORM AND IN A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL.  CODE COMPILED IN C RUNS WAY WAY WAY FASTER IN ALMOST ALL SITUATIONS.  BYTE CODE IS SLOW IN COMPARISON.  INTERPRETED EVEN MORE SO.  (SORRY ABOUT THE UPPERCASE... MY PHONE IS STUCK).

You did compare the two and I responded to your comparison.

I have no idea what that means.

Maybe I've read some of your books?

Great. I'm fond of RevTalk.

You mean your brain? We're alike in that way- I use mine often as well.

Yes, we're again agreed on this point. That's two!

Ack. There's the rub. Just because you believe it invaluable for yourself, doesn't make it invaluable to Rev. And the fact it is not yet any sort of current option would prove Rev's not that interested, for if they really thought they could make money with it, they would prioritize the feature.

We've established you like xtalk. Why don't you spearhead a project to convert xtalk to C? I suspect, with your skills in writing books on AI, you could also include a really nice manual. Best of luck! _______________________________________________
