    Cinema 4D is.



    (Done very quickly.)



    Modo by 'Son of Newtek' is, sorry, Luxology.



    (It was ready within days of the keynote.)



    Mathematica is.



    Several thirdy party apps.



    Newtek should be there quite quickly with Lightwave. Seeing as they have redone the architecture.



    It doesn't seem to be that big a deal.



    Easier than doing a Carbon port?

    So, will this likely be just Lightwave 9?



    *edit, as opposed to Lightwave 8 student which I got a few months ago. I won't be a student when 9 comes out, and won't be able to afford it w/o an education verison.

    I don't get this. According to this article, Intel is not even in demo stage yet for their OSX development tools/compilers (to be included in Xcode). How does everyone already writes and compiles their software to MacIntel ? Is Xcode 'good enough' to do this ?

    People are using gcc. Please note that Intel's compilers can't make Universal Binaries and will probably not be used generally.

    The game I originally wrote when I was 13, "The Magic Bat," will be available within the next 6 months.



    My uh.. developer team went on strike to protest the fact that my game is being used for military training in working with the mentally disabled.



    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Actually, Intel is working on a different compiler of their own. XCode 2.1 will already produce universal binaries. This was announced on the first day of the WWDC back in July.

    Intel's compilers cannot do PPC code, but that doesn't matter. You can set Xcode to use ICC (Intel) for x86 and GCC or XLC (IBM) for PPC. The merging into a fat/universal binary has nothing to do with the compiler. It is done by lipo.

    And Objective-C.

    True (and Objective C++). H owever, the real benefit in a compiler like ICC or XLC doesn't lie in object-oriented code anyway, but in mathematical computation code, which you should be writing in C.
