It's not just the browser, people often want to create mobile apps today and there is no standard language that works for all platforms (you can try C# with Xamarin but it is not the native choice of all the platforms). And there is not always good, still developed, standardized UI libraries for every language. Many people starting with programming want to see something on the screen and then you need this. And there is usually some people who wan't to develop serverside web code which should be supported by the same language.
If Xamarin was open source or free I think it with C# would be a great way to start programming. For now Javascript works.
- ghuntley 12y agore: if open source Free for open source () => http://resources.xamarin.com/open-source-contributor.html http://resources.xamarin.com/open-source-contributor.html re: if free Free for students () => https://xamarin.com/student https://xamarin.com/student re: if cheaper So $25/month is too much for capability to ship on all three mobile platforms - native development - using a shared codebase written in one of the nicest languages (F#/C#) in existence? If you're a startup w/ at least three people in your team just send them a email to work something your in your favour.
