Rewriting Hiawatha in Java

1 April 2015, 09:13

To make Hiawatha more cross-platform, I've decided to move away from C. I'm now busy rewriting Hiawatha in Java. About 90% of all features have already been rewritten. To read more about this migration and to download a preview, click here [page removed].

Update:
Of course, this was an april's fool joke. No way in hell I'm gonna do something with Java.

Nice one Hugo

I thought it really exists because rewriting it in a different program language could expose hidden bugs in existing code. Despite it's a costly approach.

Why don't you send the 'fool thing' on mail as well.

If I hadn't come to the site, I wouldn't have known about the "april 1' thing.

I have sent it via the mailing list. Have you subscribed?

I would have said good bye to hiawatha

2 April 2015, 10:15

yes, I got mail because I subscribed (to the newsletter a while ago)
but I didn't get any 2nd mail regarding this 'fool' thing.

That's how I've learned about it -- via email from Hugo.
Hehe ... a really nice joke, one of the best April's fools I've ever had.
