Considering you have absolutely no proof of that it seems rather disrespectful to act like that's a fact rather than your supposition.
- m0zg 8y agoIt always cracks me up when people demand "proof" of something like this. I mean, I know some of the people from there from way back, and the project was eventually canceled, so there literally was "no output". And they had pretty much complete carte blanche on everything and could bikeshed over the most inane and inconsequential things for months on end. It was a fun "job" while it lasted, though.
- Someone1234 8y agoNow I'm starting to wonder if you even read the "No Output" letter and understand its implication? You essentially called a bunch of Microsoft employees productivity drains on the rest of the company. The fact that you think a cancelled project means it is the same as DEC's "No Output" team likely means you don't understand what the "No Output" team even was at DEC or the implication for the people within it. You absolutely do need to present proof of what you're saying, because it is a serious charge for both Microsoft and those employees alike.
- pjmlp 8y agoSurely there was output. Async/await, TPL, Span<>, blittable structs, safe stackalloc, .NET Native, and a couple of other minor features come from M# (System C#) usage.
