Porting Resources [to IRIX] – Determining Viability

The obvious solution is to reverse engineer IRIX and make a modern version that runs on modern (non-MIPS) hardware.<p>Why they didn&#x27;t do it during their push to Itanic or when they shot their feet helping generic PCs to gain SGI-level graphics is criminal.<p>Remember NeXT, who made 68K machines, ported NEXTSTEP to x86, SPARC, PPC and HP-PA.

&quot; Rust in particular is resource hungry. Firefox&#x27;s pre-Rust versions are MUCH faster in my experience than the equivalent Rust version. &quot;<p>I had an idea this would be the case but according to every benchmark, Rust is up there with C++. Probably not the case in real life.
