Heh, I managed to port Emscripten / Clang-fastcomp to my old Solaris 10 (x86) and still occasionally use it as a build and host server for a couple of internal games / tech demos.

There is still life in the old dog yet!

And for the record, I don't even class opensolaris, sxce, Solaris 11-express, Solaris 11 as Solar'ii

Does "Millenials" mean anything these days? It seems they can range by as much as 15 to 40 years old.

It's a politically correct term for the mobile muppets.

Can't you use VMs in Solaris 10 though? And just build in there.

I'm not a fan of S10's fonts despite the fact that I was born in 1992...

I was born couple of decades earlier and I don't like them either. Give me retina screen and newest fonts with the best hinting and kerning available.

Well, that's a bit too much for me. Just give me a good screen (preferably Full HD, but higher is fine with me as well) with a readable, anti-aliased font and I'm happy
