   BrickOS has mocked me from the horizon for some time, but there are two
things that are holding me back: (a) Judging by the posts and what I've read,
the learning curve seems awfully steep - especially since I'm on a Mac. (b)
Rarely have I been limited by the standard firmware. The only places I've ever
run up against speed issues are for line following, and LIDAR pinging (in the
2nd case, only because I wanted a lot of pings per second & high consistancy at
the same time). And as far as the variable limit, I've not yet been even
bothered by it. There's an amazing amount of things you can do with 32 globals
and 16 locals per task.
   but yes, you're right that some of this would be a lot easier outside the
standard firmware. Has anyone gotten it working (well) on a OSX Mac, and how
much effort does it take?
