On: An introduction to the Haiku OS

[sidek]

Having tried Haiku, I like it a lot. I stopped using it, though, because it's really hard to program in it: most languages aren't supported, and others have large math errors.

[spooneybarger → sidek]

languages have large math errors? can you explain that?

the haiku apis are C++. how that leads to math errors w/ other languages well... umm... what?

[sidek → spooneybarger]

I doubt it's still an issue, but some scripting languages (Python?) had math errors. Why, I don't know.

edit2: It seems like it was fixed 17 months ago. http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/3308
