Note that the only reason Spolsky is doing this is because he bet on Mercurial a few years ago for his project http://www.fogcreek.com/Kiln/ which is Mercurial only. Unfortunately for him, git got more popular than hg so now he's promotin

Qt puts a fine layer on top of C++ to make it much less verbose, at least, not more than C#. Plus there are python, ruby and JS bindings for Qt.

There's a difference between IE and webkit though. Webkit thrive on respecting and implementing open and free web standards. Also, it doesn't have any proprietary specific "extensions" and bugs are fixed ASAP. So developing for the iPhone (

When that happens, I usually rebase on top of both master and the other guy branch.

I doubt it was full featured, given how huge is the spec and how many technologies it embeds especially nowadays (video streaming, p2p etc).

They will free it, once it's too late and no one cares. Kind of like Java.

I'd rather just use a chrome OS tablet, at least I don't have to connect it to a computer in order to update/sync/install stuff. And all the apps are web based so even if I need to use a regular computer I still have access to all my apps a
