This is the coolest thing I've heard since the X1000 was released :-)  I want one :-)

Now AROS needs a common/universal programming language that can run on any hardware but is powerful enough to create professional software...

Hollywood, perhaps?


The problem with C, C++ & E is that apps written in these languages will need to be recompiled for the target hardware.

Hollywood compiles to a bytecode (a lot like Java) which is interpreted, so doesn't need to be recompiled.  It just needs a player for the target hardware.

Being interpreted, of course, it's a little slower, but it makes up for that by being absolutely gorgeous.

So I must agree with lou_dias.  Hooray for Hollywood.

Oh, and Hollywood apps will run under Windows, Mac OS and Linux as well without re-coding or recompiling.
