 # Portability
 
-Portable [software](software.md) is software that is easy to [port](port.md) to (make run on) other [platforms](platform.md). Platforms here mean anything that serves as an environment enabling software to run, i.e. [hardware](hardware.md) platforms ([CPUs](cpu.md), [ISAs](isa.md), game consoles, ...), different [operating systems](os.md) vs [bare metal](bare_metal.md), [fantasy consoles](fantasy_console.md) etc. **Portability is an extremely important attribute of [good software](lrs.md)** as it allows us to write the program once and then run it on many different computers with little effort -- without portability we'd be constantly busy rewriting old programs to run on new computers, portability allows us to free our programs from being tied to specific computers and exist abstractly and independently and so become [future proof](future_proof.md). Examples of highly portable programs include [Anarch](anarch.md), [Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection](stppc.md), [sbase](sbase.md) (suckless) implementation of Unix tools such as [cat](cat.md) and [cmp](cmp.md) etc.

 **Portability is different from mere [multiplatformness](multiplatform.md)**: multiplatform software simply runs on more than one platform without necessarily being designed with high portability in mind; portable software on the other hand possesses the inherent attribute of being designed so that very little effort  is required to make it run on wide range of general platforms. Multiplatformness can be achieved cheaply by using a [bloated](bloat.md) framework such as the Godot engine or [QT](qt.md) framework, however that will not achieve portability; on the contrary it will hurt portability. Portability is achieved through good and careful design, efficient code and avoiding [dependencies](dependency.md) and [bloat](bloat.md).

 fschmidt seems to be a lot into religion and also has some related side projects with wider scope, e.g. [Arkians](arkians.md) which deals with society and [eugenics](eugenics.md). It seems to be trying to establish a community of "chosen people" (those who pass certain tests)  who selective breed to renew good genes in society. { **PLEASE DON'T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS**, I just quickly skimmed through it -- people will probably freak out and start calling that guy a [Nazi](nazi.md) -- please don't, read his site first. I can't really say more about it as I didn't research it well, but he doesn't seem to be proposing violent solutions. Peace. ~drummyfish }
 
-**What do [we](lrs.md) think about reactionary software?** The vibes are good, it basically seems like "lightweight suckless" -- we agree with what they identify as causes of decline of modern technology, we like that they discuss wide context and the big picture and our solutions are aligned, in the same direction -- theirs are just not as radical, or maybe we just disagree on minor points. We may e.g. disagree on specific cases of software, for example they approve of old [Python](python.md), [Java](java.md) and lightweight [JavaScript](js.md) used on the [web](www.md) -- we see such software as unacceptable, it's too complex, unnecessary and from ground up designed badly. { As clarified on the forums, reactionary software focuses on the simplicity from user's perspective, not necessarily the simplicity of internals. ~drummyfish } Nevertheless we definitely see it as good this philosophy exists, it contributes to improving technology and it may provide an alternative to people who suffer from modern tech but suckless or LRS is too difficult for them to get into. The fact that more and more smaller communities with ideas similar to LRS come to life indicates the ideas themselves are alive and start to flourish, in a decentralized way -- this is good.
