Then you haven't been reading anything they've said, and I'm inclined to believe that you still don't understand. With his suggestion, it's possible to create GUI components, chat bars etc without obscuring the game screen. That can't be done any other way at the moment.

The fact that he kept trying to explain it even when we said it was a bad idea, made us angry and we flamed him.
Firstly, Yoshi certainly didn't understand straight away. It was perfectly reasonable for Jake to re-explain at the start.

Secondly, while you may have grasped the basic idea, you apparently didn't see the benefits it would provide, which is why you produced your stupid little picture. Responding to his counter-argument with "i pwnt you. Shut up now" makes me wonder at your mental age.

You don't know anywhere near as much as you think. Have you ever even written a line of C++?

The language does not make the windows. The language is just a means of communicating with code libraries, which communicate with the operating system, which makes the windows. If you were as knowledgeable as you seem to believe, you would know that Graal is based on SDL, which doesn't have support for multiple windows.
