"...we got something much more like C#..." - you wish, C# supports both dynamic and static typing. I think we have finally passed the peak of hype cycle for dynamic languages and now better understand their place (scripting and in

Strange age: dozens of breakthroughs, yet no practical outcomes. Still waiting for fuel cells in mobile devices.

Certain sexual deviations are considered norm nowadays. Maybe other mental disorders, such as anxiety are normal (though unpleasant) as well, and we just don't know it yet?

That's just unnecessary political correctness. It's very hip amongst a very special crowd of people. Using multiple genders somehow fixes the gender dis-balance in the craft.

Learn C# instead: 0) easily very cross-platform (but you will have to pay), mainstream in mobile games via Unity3D; 1) not locked to one company: .NET by Microsoft, Mono by Xamarin; 2) open-source and welcoming feedback; 3) modern and innov

That's the only hope. Unfortunately there is so little news on that front and no enthusiasm from the side of mainstream language providers so far...

I feel you. Unfortunately there is this huge strange delusion, that language and VM evolution is over and JavaScript is a silver-bullet just because it happens to be so widely supported. I don't know how we are going to solve the probl

The chain of [favourite language] -> [Java Script] -> [native code] is unnatural, there is an extra step nobody wants. It's as if Oracle/Microsoft was saying "oh, you can use Java/C#" while simultaneously hypo

They want to force everyone to use/transpile to legacy stuff (JS, HTML). So cross-paradigm thinking is not an option for them.

Also the standards are not really open. Where can I submit a pull request?

Also Firefox OS is not backed by a multi-billion corporation. And developers don't get a real choice of language. So it's going to be worse for a long time. Plus all the usual problems of being the last to the market.

I can use any .NET language (C#, F# supported well) to target Android and iOS apps _natively_. I can use many (any?) JVM language (Scala, Clojure etc.) to target Android without transpilation. There is a very real choice. "Javascript a

Asking developers to buy licenses and tools is like asking students to pay fees and buy books. But telling developers to only use/target one language is like telling students to think the one and only "correct" way. This is t

"that we can all use shared technology that is interoperable instead of doing this 1990s flashback of Obj-C here and Java there thing" 1. JavaScript and HTML are themselves a 1990s flashback. 2. We want a choice of technology, not

I think he is talking about real support and not crappy transpilation.
951.
by CmonDev 12y ago
"This is a very open space" - then why is it locked to one legacy scripting language of some sort of crappy transpilation they themselves don't use? It is effectively closed for new languages.

SIMD will be available for .NET => Python.NET. PS: this is called "open web" - locking everything and everyone to one language to try and halt innovation.

"without the need to rely on any native plugins" - if I need a specific version of specific browsers (which it is), than it's no different (though sand-boxed, which plugins could be as well).

Don't forget that web is a legacy platform, so there is not much logic in naming. GUI is not a hyper-text as well, documents are. So basically "HTML5 Game Engine" is very misleading when understood literally. Practically thou
