GCC for Mac

Hi GHL

Loving all the new updates...

Any chance we will see GCC available on the mac or the web server in the near future or do I need to suffer the insufferable Windows 8 ?

I would pay $$$$ for this to happen!!!

+1 would really like to see a web replacement for GCC. Would be happy to purchase hardware i.e. a Web Server card with additional storage option to make this happen if GHL were to produce such a product.

When you guys say web server, do you mean like EcoSmart Live for programming Radions?
If so, I say helllllllllll no!
When I had my Radions I hated being at the mercy of connecting to their servers in order to change programming.

Now a mac version I would LOVE! Even if that meant it didn't get updated as fast as the PC version.
Running Parallels has always been a bit quirky.

But I think GHL would probably have to hire a whole new department of programmers to get that to happen. ;)

Windows tablets are so cheap now. You can permanently mount one on your tank as a touch.

Don't see any point in programming for Mac, with all the new apps and web support..
Cost of supporting dual environments would be in excess of return.

No I don't mean a cloud offering or web service provided by GHL.
I mean an enhancement of the web interface to provide the same features as the current GCC (note: additional hardware may be required to host a more complex web console).

Code in C or C++ and it's just a matter of interface design/tweaking.
I still don't understand the rationale for not having this.
Also having used AI's Director and web software I say no thanks to web controls.

if it was that easy we would have done it

but Mac has its own language Objective C and Cocoa Touch, now even another language coming with then next OS

-> the Mac software has to be developed from scratch up, re-use of code is nearly impossible

Objective C is a branch of C. Any C programmer can be up and running in a day. Swift will make it even easier as it can use C, Java, C++ and Objective C in the same environment. Cocoa touch is for mobile development.

The only reason you would have to re-program from the ground up is if you locked yourself into something like Visual Basic. If you are coding in Visual Studio you can re-use code from that.

Seriously as a programmer I don't understand the objections. The pay off would easily justify the effort.

So I got to see the new web software and I was very impressed. I don't know if it requires a server connection or live internet connection but it looks really good!

Come on man....tease
Some of us can't wait

Hey! Neither can I.

I still get a kick out of GHL using all apple products for their advertising :)
