Sitting the whole lunch period is a bigger problem. Grab a take away, then go for a walk.

As someone has written before, Microsoft caught the last train with its WP. It's too late for non-revolutionary mobile OS to win a reasonable share of market (and no, crappy ubiquitous script language is not a revolution).

Or you could pay for Xamarin and avoid having to deal with Java.

Can you predict all possible effects of someone smart joining the board? Better not stirring the pond!

Clearly the board has to be fired for not keeping up to date with modern knowledge.

Being smart and having a specific mindset will become mainstream? Cool!

"2014 is the year of the Linux desktop with SteamOS!" - can't be 'desktop' since most of them will be under TVs.

"2013 was the year of the smartwatch" - did not really happen though.

In-app purchases will be absolutely raping user's minds and wallets. Virtual reality will make a strong come back. Steambox + Oculus combo will be quite popular among hardcore gamers. There will be a growing disappointment in HTML5 not

Would be cool to include latest Mono into all major *nix distributives as well.

You missed the point: it will not get cheaper, because for the first time since ages they will have to make an actual effort to make a practical use of one of those fancy technologies. Also in what way would e.g. memristors or quantum compu

Only a handful of them are backed by a major company. Also M# is likely to be merged with C# - it's just a fork of sorts.

I am sure I would have similar issues with Java on *nix because of my lack of experience with both. Cross-platform is definitely a major C# strength at least in the mobile space given the power of Xamarin tool chain. Android and iOS do matt

"NodeJS / JavaScript / HTML5" - more likely to be just another option to satisfy everyone. I would rather move to Scala than use JS for anything other than rich GUI. Who wants to support business logic implemented in JS

C# itself is better than Java, so the new language must be 2x better than Java

Did you re-implement ReSharper or any of your _major_ products in Kotlin?

It's like saying "Java only works on old Nokia phones (yeah I know about all other ports of JVM)".

There aren't that many languages backed by a giant corporation (=> tools and docs). And no, we just need C# (multi-paradigm, multi-typed) with better performance - which is what they are doing.

They are just targeting the 95% of developers.

If idiomatic and flawless user experience is important, but you still want to at least re-use your business logic then your best bet is Xamarin.

People mostly benefit from immutable state, which is very useful for avoiding extra bugs. All other "expressiveness" garbage is for those who really dig it.

They were not selling guns to criminals in communist Russia.
