As a .Net outsider, it's not very inclusive of them to have an acronym in the title like that.
I had to look down on the page to figure out that it means "Windows Communication Foundation". It was not easy to quickly figure out what this actually means, but I guess that's since it's highly technical and I'm not immersed in the Microsoft/.Net talk.
- vdnkh 11y agoI feel like MS is pretty good with their acronyms. Usually just Windows% or Microsoft%. OSS, on the other hand, is a bit ridiculous. It's time [to] explain the meaning of "Hurd". "Hurd" stands for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons". And, then, "Hird" stands for "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth". We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms.
