"If JavaScript is an old internal combustion engine car, then TypeScript is one with automatic transmission and power steering, while Dart is a new electric car." TypeScript + ReSharper (recently announced) => cold-fusion power

Another fun fact is that CLR (well Mono) runs faster on Android then Java.

It is loosing to TypeScript already.

Because you have not heard of Knockout.js?

Simply because C# is the best modern C-derived language. And Visual Studio is the best modern IDE.

Dude, you are ignorant about the level of C# documentation.

It seems that Go is a good replacement for Python as well?

I hope they are secretly testing C#->LLVM->asm.js as well.

They needed a GUI language and decided to go for a C-derived imperative one? That's an option I guess. At least it's not Python.

by _random_ 13y ago
Oh, so that's what is required to fix things - yet another C-derived language?

Or you could pick something like C#/F# and use both approaches harmonically.

A decent side-project is something you believe could be big. Why would you sell your "baby"? If it's not decent people just make it open-source.

It's awesome they exist. Otherwise it would've been HTML5 vs native. First won't be ready for a long time, second means different high-level languages for each platform.

Common, F# is like 1% of their customers. Even Microsoft does not support F# as much as C#. JetBrains ignore it as well. I keep coming back to this language but I see no enthusiasm in Microsoft for it.

Maybe he could provide a quick sample/prototype of VisiCalc ported to iOS as a web-app? After all 2013-1979 = 34 of innovation, so HTML5 and JS _must_ be a pinnacle of programmer's productivity, right? An if-it-compiles-it-is-corr
