Before this, libclang was being used somewhat for C++ in stuff like QtCreator, but now there's servers for basically any language you can think of, and you can use them with traditional editors.

2. Most customers are satisfied with their products.
3. And relatively new products like Azure (the world's second cloud) are attracting, thanks to their good reputation and quality , so many customers that revenue increases are in double digits.
You have a strange notion of being the worst​.Last edited by Volta; 22 September 2023, 11:57 AM.

I don't game, other than an occasional round of SuperTuxKart.
That being said, I have questions before I praise Steam:
1) Isn't Steam a proprietary walled garden where you don't really "own" games, but you pay to use them within the Steam system? Correct me if I'm wrong on this.
2) While Steam has contributed a number of graphics enhancements, didn't it do that out of self-interest, as Steam has been trying for years to run its own OS and devices where Steam can determine its own profits outside of having to be subservient to companies like MS, Apple, and Google? Correct me if I'm wrong.
3) Surely Valve is collecting massive amounts of data on Steam users. What's their privacy policy? Are they just another Google or Facebook - contributing a bit of code in order to entice more users and enrich themselves through the sale of personal data? Gmail is the classic example - "Great Free Email For Everyone!!" [don't mind us while we scrape and sell all your email data, provide backdoors to our government spy customers, etc].

I can't do much in the way of financial contribution myself at the current time, but as soon as I've got my own things sorted out you're high on the list of people to show support to.
