Re: A89: Re: A possible shell for the 89...
Everything will die. There is no more truth than that. Accept it as fact
if you cannot understand why.
As for shells/OSs, if no one develops for it, it might be continued to be
developed and features included. It will not be popular, but it will exist.
It may last only a while. It will eventually die. If everyone develops for
it, then it will be continued to be developed and features included. It
will be popular and last a while, but it too will eventually die. If
popularity were the only thing that Prefect desired to attain, then Prosit
might die soon. I doubt this highly, as Prefect mentioned not his shell to
the TI community until it's initial release.
Popularity is a whole other ballgame. Prosit doesn't need many developers
to survive, it only needs one developer: Prefect.
