I'm using Xcode to write code for the first time in a long while and suddenly I really miss the UI from CodeWarrior 6 Pro. Why are all modern UIs so BAD???

Why are our desktop windows designed to be full screen iPad apps???

I posted about this on Discord last night, but I (finally) decompiled the entire GameCube 2.X compiler line

I'm hoping to add the linker and assembler, as well as the rest of the GC/Wii line, plus other consoles.....eventually™

I do not remember any of those things, except *maybe* IDEs, and if I saw anyone making this argument about IDEs it was laughably just a grudge. I didn't see, like. Studies. Academic studies seeming to show that using CodeWarrior caused you to forget how to write C++ or whatever

I’m finding surprisingly few books on Classic Mac programming using C++. They seem to be split between Symantec TCL and CodeWarrior PowerPlant. Apple just let MPW & MacApp shrivel on the vine while they shone the spotlight on Pink/Taligent and OpenDoc.

I’m interested. I’m also interested in going the other direction, so to speak: Run the Mac in an emulator and have AI write tools and apps inside it. Currently I have a partially finished Simula-67 compiler and an accompanying plugin for Metowerks CodeWarrior 4.0.

ChatGPT was able to control a 1990's Mac with no difficulty at all. I'm debating whether I should have it write an IDE plugin for CodeWarrior for doing AI software development directly on the Mac as well.

... but I'm already burning tokens on other things! 😆

👵 No more cheating! From now on, ONLY use the CodeWarrior IDE to make changes!

🤖 Yes ma'am.

👵 Okay, smarty-pants! Write me a... a Simula-67 compiler! Targeting contemporary Linux AND... MacOS 8.1!

🤖 Challenge accepted.
Then we have the main ground rules settled: - Language: The 1986 SIMULA Standard as the primary reference, with reviewed errata and documented resolutions of ambiguities. - Priorities: Correctness and portability before performance. - Architecture: Provisionally, a Simula-to-C compiler and shared runtime, with an early feasibility check for CodeWarrior integration. - Mac: Compiler buildable with the installed CodeWarrior; IDE compiler plug-in if the available SDK permits it. Target the current 68040/Mac OS environment, keeping 68030 and FPU/no-FPU support in the design. - Linux: Native applications, with Qt bindings. - Applications: Self-contained delivery on both platforms; console programs and native GUI programs. - GUI scope: Windows, menus, buttons, text editing, dialogs, drawing, and events. - Diagnostics: Simula source locations in compiler and runtime errors; interactive source-level debugging deferred. - Documentation: Our own specification, implementation manual, and conformance record, developed alongside the implementation. I’ll treat a small working subset as a milestone, not completion. The finished implementation must address the language’s difficult semantics and standard facilities, with tests on both platforms and any remaining limitations stated explicitly. This gives me enough direction to proceed autonomously once you give the go-ahead.

Well of COURSE somebody archived the Metrowerks FTP site back in 2016, and OF COURSE somebody else uploaded that to archive.org, so OF COURSE we now have the SDK for the CodeWarrior IDE Version 3.2, API Version 10.

🤖 "The first native build caught two classic Mac header collisions: Cell is already a Toolbox type, and the math headers rewrite floor. I’m fixing those names in CodeWarrior. This is exactly the kind of compatibility issue the Mac-first workflow is useful for catching."

This was found on an older laptop of mine. I got halfway finished, and abandoned the effort. This may or may not work for you. If it does, it will need a bit of elbow grease. So is more just for preservation, or to inspire ideas, or for someone else to finish.

The Macintosh IIfx used a 68030 chip. I found a cool browser emulator running System 7 that even features a Metrowerks C compiler. I've never seen one in real life, but according to Wikipedia, its original intro price would be equivalent to $22K today.

infinitemac.org/1991/System%...
Screenshot shows an emulated Mac IIfx with System 7 in the browser, with CodeWarrior and a one‑line C program that prints "Good morning, Bluesky", compiled it into newproj.A. A window with the segment table is shown as well. The About This Macintosh box confirms the vintage hardware/OS underneath.

I know it’s much more limited and simple, but it’s amazing how CodeWarrior debugger in 1998 just works when inspecting a generic language like C++ on top of a reasonably fragile OS foundation while Xcode debugger in 2026 continues to be a permanent failure when even the language is custom made […]
