Wintel and Open Source

Filed under: C/C++,Julia,Open Source — Patrick Durusau @ 6:44 pm

The software world is reverberating with the news that Microsoft is in the process of making .NET completely open source.

On the same day, Intel announced that it had released “Julia2C, a source-to-source translator from Julia to C.”

Hmmm, is this evidence that open source is a viable path for commercial vendors? 😉

Next Question: How long before non-open source code become a liability? As in a nesting place for government surveillance/malware.

Speculation: Not as long as it took Wintel to move towards open source.

Consumers should demand open source code as a condition for purchase. All software, all the time.
