It seems that second scenario is much better since it means more work for us, developers?

I think he means that "to err is human". It is very easy to make frustrating mistakes in JavaScript which is not just dynamic, but even weakly-typed. Following that Node.js is obviously most human.

C# supports dynamic typing BTW: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd264736.aspx

Nokia has NFC for payments as well AFAIK.

Sounds reasonable but a bit outdated. Then again who would've guessed that historical ubiquity of JS scripting language would eventually put it on server side?

What if you implement in-app purchases. It will look like a free program, but when they get used to it: "Bang! You have used all your id-card-coins for the week. Would you like to buy more?". This is how consumers are owned these

It's too smooth and polished to be a JS/HTML game IMHO.

It is possible to work at Google and own a side start-up at the same time? Is UK less prohibitive about such situations than US (intellectual property)?

"I don't mean to imply Unity is 1:1 API replacement for XNA" - this is what I meant. You cannot build your own engine on top of Unity, but some people don't need to.

He probably sent him a link to one of those much better iOS flat GUI redesigns from independent artists.

The current cohort of languages-of-the-moment is being cannibalized by the node.js silver bullet it seems.

Unity is not an XNA replacement. MonoGame is.

Keeps getting better. Let's hope there will be a single unified cross-platform .NET-Mono-Framework in future with native capabilities.

by _random_ 13y ago
MonoGame is meant to be an OSS XNA replacement. It's very good for indies with good programming skills. Fez and Bastion were implemented using XNA/MonoGame. If one is more of a game-designer/scripter or is business-oriented t

If JS and Node will eat enterprise I might as well move into .NET game programming :).

Yes, of course: https://roslyn.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Language%20Featur...

And with JS average developers being potentially cheaper (at least in future) the enterprise might actually consider it.

So, should we stop learning C#? I mean what's the point with the current "JS is a ubiquitous silver bullet" trend? How does the Project Helios fit in?

Yes, the game engine pricing bottom is getting closer!
