Cosmoe: BeOS Class Library on Top of Wayland

Interesting.. back in the early ‘00, I implemented the BeOS api on top of the win32 api. Naive me thought that would make people adopt programming for BeOS and in turn would make it a popular OS.

Was this an independent hobbyist reimplementation? Gobe did something similar in order to port their productivity suite (sorely missed) from BeOS over to Windows and Linux.

Had juist a hobby. Never released it, but it worked quite well. It was remarkably easy to add the events and controls etc after I got the initial version working.

Do you own the rights to it? Can it be published on github? Thanks.

You and me both (but for different reasons). Also for Flash/ActionScript.
