Excuse me, what is Emacs? I never heard of it. Could you please explain?

Is gcc a compiler of a "cc" language? What is "g"? A CC-compiler should be
named ccc, logically speaking.

I never used gdb. Somehow, when I see a bug, I start thinking what could
have gone wrong. After a short while I usually find the bug. But I heard
that some people used gdb. Maybe it is great.

I also heard that Linus does not use gdb, what explains why gdb is so hard
to apply to the Linux kernel.

gcc by design does not support other languages. I have heard that gcc
developers swear that if someone adds some sensible language to the gcc,
they will break it in the next gcc release. We should not underestimate
the militancy of the gcc afficionados.

However, there is O2CC out there. I heard it works pretty well.

Nothing wrong with proving the language by writing an operating system.
The C language was proven the same way.

BlackBox interface is standard Windows. What is strange about it?

One person is using it. Namely myself. So "nobody" is not strictly true.

I heard that svn can deal with any files. So perhaps it can deal with .odc
as well? I never used svn, though.

What is cpdev?
