I would agree, although I doubt Microsoft will lead the charge there. The money is in selling MSDN licenses which means they are going to be on Windows anyway.

The vast majority of these changes are very understandable. The only one that is complex is the ? operator, which compresses only code that is very uninteresting and harder to read. Comparatively the string trick, read-only properties and l

The main point of the efficient market hypothesis is that the average investor won't consistently beat the market average. Also note that most of the people beating the efficient market hypothesis aren't doing the kinds of transac

Visual Studio doesn't run on the .NET runtime entirely and uses WPF. Thus all of the C++ logic and WPF itself would need to be ported for that to happen.

You cannot use Community to make enterprise software. Enterprise software described the entirety of the people willing to drop $2,000+ a year to use Visual Studio. This won't impact their primary market, especially when you consider th

Shouldn't your move vs copy constructors be generally irrelevant? The idea is that they are semantically equivalent thus the compiler can make the correct choice for you. Your comment about RVO isn't accurate, those are two separa

I thought functional languages had to give up on most forms of overloading as well as implicit conversions for their algorithms to work. While the former is not a big deal, the latter would be a deal breaker (as much as I have learned to li

What about currency's that fluctuate? The rate can change a lot in the several years a card is in consumer hands.

by Guvante 12y ago
