I think that they should choose the most widely used document format. If that's MS Office one then so be it.

I guess that's true, maybe the problem is elsewhere.

I personally don't like Unity, but at least Google is starting to think out of the mainstream OSS box.

It also helps if there are no boring bring-lunch-from-home types.

But the performance doesn't degrade quite as much.

"written in Java, C/C++, as well as the Unity Game Engine" - good news and a discreet way of saying they support C# via Mono!

It simplifies your life if you don't need quality (tailored platform experience). Makes it simpler to tick the mark that you have a version of app you don't really care about on every platform.

First step of unit testing is picking the correct language. Static analysis will eliminate the need for whole class of errors. Then apply code contracts. Consider extending your static analysis package of choice to add rules specific to you

Like there is not enough of this stuff here on HN.

There is a gold crunch as well - I can't find 999% gold at 1$ per kg.

Better closed and tidy then open and messy. Besides there is an open implementation for Mono if you fancy.

I would say moderately better. E.g. "C# is so much better than assembly language".

.NET is not a language. You always have to pay, but sometimes you pay directly and up-front.

"open source language" - such as F# or Clojure? Both don't require you to abandon the best IDE on Earth. http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/0e53eaf6-b031-...

There is always a back-up plan of having kids, focusing on raising them well and hoping that maybe they will come up with something cool.

And that's something to be sad about actually...

'Transpiling' since it kind of converts to a scripting language not a native code.

You have a better chance of getting free liposuction then e.g. a modern medicine for your flu-related complications: "Just take some ibuprofen".

"spreading the belief that races exist and are different in terms of biology, behaviour and culture" - D'oh!

No, let's use other languages for naming stuff in programming languages that support Unicode sources!

I agree. Any kind of English is way better then people asking questions without making their own effort first. If the language is not clear there will be comments asking for clarifications. Besides I have edited a couple of questions to try

I struggle to imagine a developer who is _talented_ (in actual real sense of this) in programming yet cannot ask/answer a tech question in English (I am not a native speaker). Has anyone met a person like this?

Like in-memory state? Why would you have it?

It will take its well-deserved place in the range of many other languages available instead of being offered way too often as the only language worth learning here on HN. I hope the JS-madness will calm down in next few years as well. Would

Hopefully we are approaching the slope of the Python hype: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle
