   Hello,   
      
   We have got VMS/XDE (https://products.vmssoftware.com/vms-xde-beta). You   
   can develop VMS application on GNU/Linux.   
      
   (I learn receently the term, and I apologize for the rudness). WTF?   
      
   It seems being a very good technical effort. So perhaps some investment.   
   I cannot understand the (business) goal. But it seems investement is   
   possible - but not for bare metal :( -.   
      
   It seems to be funny to use. But I don't see for whom this effort is   
   done - apart hobbyies enthousiasts -.   
      
   Again, I'll rumble. Is it a real way to join the new generations of   
   developers, the Open Source world? With a non-opened packaged you get   
   free for n months, and which you have after that to buy?   
      
   I need more cleverness about all that. Please.   
      
   As usual, instructive things from Arnö :
