So, not a programmer, just a rando on Lemmy. There are racist programming languages?
is a joke based on that they can't even type rust without censoring the name "r*st" lol
yeah, r*st.
No distribution, but he didn't say no distributing a language parser to change it into rust and then microcompile a new executable on the spot.
Tell me you are having a midlife crisis over not wanting to change over from the programming language you grew up mastering without telling me you are having a midlife crisis over not wanting to change over from the programming language you grew up mastering.
Is it really just old men saying stuff should remain in C/C++ to preserve their nostalgia? What a bunch of petty bullsh!t.
you may not create, maintain, or distribute a forked version of the software
ok, i'm just gonna host it on my website for archival purposes and if someone happens to download it that's not my fault
this is from the thread complaining that it's against TOS
host it on my website
That's distributing and barred under the other license item. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Huh weird, these pull requests just magically accepted themselves
Lol rust winamp clone let's gooooo
I mean, it's not Rust but QMMP has existed for years. You could do a rewrite of QMMP with no issues if you really wanted to.
Agreed, crab that anti-foss activist in particular
ironic that winamp is was built on open formats and widespread IP theft (music ripped and shared)..... but they're strangely prickly when it comes to their code.

The guy who wrote Winamp Sold it decades ago. So you should clarify who is defensive about their code :-) The original coder is really good - he also wrote the awesome AVS visualization plugin for Winamp which among other things utilizes a special programming language called "eel". After selling Winamp he went on to create Reaper which also uses eel I think.
TIL! appreciate the deets
The license, even if it's truly just to avoid rust (for whatever dumbass reason they have), is enough to me to hardpass on the entire project.
