I've been thinking about this a bunch lately, but it would be hard to say. Comment...

Question: Those FRs are really vital, you know?
Asked by FuckYouHelios (193.198.68.x) on November 13 2012, 11:18am
Reply on November 14 2012, 10:45pm:

Some are, no doubt. To expand on an earlier response, as to the things I implement, I actually do a ton of stuff that is not necessarily things I use, but many factors including effect on overall product quality, stability, backwards and forwards compatibility, feature-latch, and general engineering work required also come into play.

Question: Where do you see Reaper in 10 years?

Reply on November 14 2012, 10:44pm:

Hard to say, but hopefully more powerful, efficient, and fully backwards compatible. Comment...

Keeping yourself motivated can be tough, regardless of user feedback, but I'd absolutely rather have all kinds of feedback than none. Comment...

Question: What's your preference on null pointers convention: char *p=0 or char *p=NULL? And why?
Asked by Rodrigo (187.112.69.x) on November 12 2012, 10:57pm
Reply on November 14 2012, 10:41pm:

I'd prefer NULL. Ideally the compiler should warn or prevent you from doing =0, and from assigning NULL to an integer. That'd be nice for catching errors, especially for function parameters... Comment...

Question: The more I read about C++11 the more respect I have for C. Do you like the new direction of C++?
Asked by gio (94.66.49.x) on November 10 2012, 5:56pm
Reply on November 12 2012, 12:10am:

I don't particularly like most of the modern C++isms. I like C, but also do like classes and think that vtables are nice and useful, but wish that the ABI for them was standardized on a given platform (rather than per compiler). Templates are also quite useful. Comment...

Reply on November 12 2012, 12:10am:

Most or possibly close to all of them, yeah. Comment...

Question: on a slightly more serious note, is it time to expand cockOS because you seem to be spreading yourselves too thin to actually do
Asked by USpirit (121.73.52.x) on November 9 2012, 6:12pm
Reply on November 12 2012, 12:10am:

No, just time for me to get a little more motivated, I think. Comment...

Reply on November 7 2012, 12:24am:

Probably javascript/ajax/DOM crap. I'd want myself to learn C and assembly language though. Comment...

Question: Do you know goo.gl/4fDyQ ? Would it be compatible with R and VSTs ?
