Patching dynamic weak typed system, sigh...

Maybe his case is an edge case.

Well people still think that NASA Mars mission is kind of cool even after seeing Star Trek and Star Wars. I didn't have a console, PC or powerful laptop for about 6 years. Next year I am going to buy one of those to go with my Oculus.

Well, virtual reality makes a come back, why wouldn't AI?

Hearing to what problems a technology failed to solve is usually even more interesting. It cuts the hype.

I agree, any tool must be used correctly.

C# supports duck typing though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing#In_C.23

This always makes me laugh! "Look guys we invented this new functional language - it's awesome" - well cool, now go back and make a decent IDE and tools for it.

Why would a mostly similar language on the same runtime even help you scale that much? Surely it's about frameworks and technologies!

by _random_ 13y ago
I don't think so. Look at C# - completely alien to JVM yet getting more and more cross-platform traction via Mono and Xamarin. I think it's more about language robustness and appeal. Also switching from Java to C# you loose less t

Could it be the reason Symbian was slow and eventually failed? Were they interpreting or compiling Python?

Isn't it why Python guys are trying to use more annotations? To patch it with some sort of semi-decent static analysis? Check the Dropbox's pain presentation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/83ppa5iykqmr14z/Py2

What does it even mean? You can dump everything into one class hacky Python way if you want. You can use dynamic keyword if you don't care about type safety.

"People positively hate incompatible changes – especially bad for dynamic languages", "Never again this way – the future is static analysis and annotations". Wouldn't it be better to pick a better-suited language th

NoFloJS is by no mean original but how does your project compare to them?

Is it game-engine-agnostic?

That's to give them Quake-style vibe!

Their kids typically don't get a decent education. Give me a location in a developed capital and a price bracket.

Care to elaborate on C# 5 variance issues, please?

Meat Boy is a good example of getting rich-ish based on doing something right. It was a victory won hard.

A grain of salt: "I’m fortunate enough to be in a position where I can pursue other values in life besides dollars" - all your competitors will be much less fortunate now, going free is a kind of price dumping. I wish all the $.9

Hmm, interesting. Is CLR a second-class citizen for it? How actively is the language developing?
896.
by _random_ 13y ago
I hate the fact but C# might actually be cheaper to hire than e.g. Java devs. Enough to pay for SQL :(.

by _random_ 13y ago
Yes, but you have to make an effort. Quick google: http://tomasp.net/blog/fsharp-mvc-web.aspx/

Yes, but they are trying to make JS/HTML developers feel welcome as well.

I wish Scala for CLR has not been abandoned :(. Imagine a nice modern language that targets both CLR and JVM! A man can dream...

I hate to be a negative guy. I have actually read some chapters of that book - thanks for links, I do appreciate. Maybe the problem is that my job is DB + GUI + simple business logic type of projects. Which is probably similar to most other
