Question: Is icc still the best option for REAPER? or fair for all users? agner.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6

    I'm sorry that I don't have a good answer for this. Changing toolsets is something that we can't do lightly. On Windows if we did ditch ICC we would also need to move to a more modern compiler, which raises other issues. Though I suppose most users on Windows are using 64-bit at this point, which might require less changes.

    If I had to give a simple answer, it would be: maybe not, but it's too big of an undertaking to change at the moment.

Question: Hello Justin, I've read your other answsers about releasing REAPER as FOSS and I have some thoughts. Why not release it without the 3rd party proprietary bits like elastique and VST2? Also, if you don't want to deal with patches you can always make a "community edition" without your direct involvement and use a trademark to prevent forks from using the REAPER name. If you ever organized a crowdfund campaign for it, I think the FOSS community could match a few years' revenue, not sure though...

Question: What's your favourite programming book? Do you follow clean code rules? Do you use functionoids?
Asked by Pony (78.152.169.x) on August 25 2020, 11:47am
Reply on August 25 2020, 2:08pm:
    I haven't read a programming book in ages. Not sure what "clean code rules" are but I'm sure I have plenty of my own rules! Functionoids, yes, sometimes. LICE uses something close to that with templates for blend modes...

Question: Are you worried that some more left leaning liberals will not vote for JB, similar to what happened to HC?

    Yeah that is a worry, hopefully people can suck it up and do the least-bad thing though. :/ I do know people who voted for GJ/JS in 2016 and will vote for Biden this time, though, so that's maybe encouraging?

Question: Is it better to vote tactically, or should you always vote with your conscience, regardless of the outcome?
Asked by Rob The Questioner (213.205.197.x) on August 21 2020, 6:29pm
Reply on August 21 2020, 7:21pm (edited at August 21 2020, 7:23pm):
    Vote tactically, absolutely! Voting your conscience, if the candidate has no chance of winning, is only useful for sending a message. The problem is, generally speaking, those messages are ignored by everybody. What was the message of Jill Stein and Gary Johnson receiving a total of a percent or so? That a small tiny minority was willing to throw their vote away...
