@profquail: First of all those links are meaningless given the scarcity of F# positions. You just can't compare them statistically. Second of all if you look closely at actual positions then it turns out they are not F#-centric at all

I actually like how meaningful white-space forces formatting. I want more inference in C#. What I don't like is that language "feels" too "big" for me to approach. Things like "The DefaultValue attribute is req

And a Scala dev will find it strangely familiar :).

You are not forced to use it. Pick any of dozens of others.

Which code would you rather refactor in 5 years? Make no assumptions about willingness to unit test.

It's funny how you managed to make a powerful feature sound like a flaw. Just forget "tons of methods" exist and code your implementations then. In a Notepad.

Github is not the only one. There is also Codeplex, Bitbucket. Some projects are even on Google Code.

Maybe they can start generating some profit / attract investors?

That would be a super-powerful move. They should drop prices for Pro Visual Studio as well.

I really wish F# was as approachable as Scala is. Every time I consider it I see no strong selling point. Loosing ReSharper + a steep learning curve make it too much for me.

Of course C# supports dynamic programming. It has a keyword "dynamic". It's good for integration.

JavaScript is not universal unfortunately. You have to run specific versions of browsers from specific vendors to make it work properly. E.g. Chrome v. 30 by Google.

You need to be actually best/bright to do well in HFT, not 'MBA best/bright'.

You are not wrong. Journalists playing their game.

I use Microsoft Office 2013. IMHO it's the state of the art.

Thank you for sharing the story. > "Never ever ever build a real-time multiplayer game on mobile" I agree that it is risky but I have found Galcon quite enjoyable. "I can’t fault consumers or Apple for any of this." I

Lions can eat tofu if that is the only thing available to them. Should've given them a choice between Mac/Lin/Win.

Yeah, and the only reason WP is not more mainstream than Android/iOS is because it's not pre-installed on your Samsung Galaxy/iPhone when you buy.

Neither did I. It just works.

It's not Brothers fault. Consumer demand decides what gets supported. Don't they typically support MacOS as well?

It means I have seen people who were smarter than themselves :).

But that is just your Start menu expanded to take the whole screen... Were you removing all the items from Start menu on older versions of Windows as well?

Wow, you really don't understand what tiles and metro design are about? Have you considered the power fonts have? Have you thought of making content a first class citizen in GUI?

Agreed, it's always about three components: being healthy, being social and doing your main job/studies. If you suddenly have a lot of free time, then probably one of those three is missing.

Node.js is just JS running on server. I would rather invest in learning some strong functional language. The more different high-level _paradigms_ you learn in your twenties - the better.

When future arrived we just did not miss it. GUIs are more natural, it's much better then learning each tools crappy mini console DSL.
