Miguel de Icaza Debates Avalon with an Avalon Designer

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the in-yo-face dept.

Karma Sucks writes "In an interesting debate with a Microsoft employee, Miguel points out some crucial flaws in Microsoft's Avalon strategy. Perhaps the most shocking revelation is the absolutely horrendous inheritence hierarchy exposed by the Avalon API. Miguel himself is clearly not amused, saying 'We do not want to waste our time with dead-end APIs as we are vastly under-resourced, so we must choose carefully.'"

    When I first read this I said "huh" but then I see that Miquel De Icaza supports the Palestinean intifada, including all its violence. He has a link on his website to pro-intifada web sites.

    I don't know anything about Quartz, so this has piqued my curiosity. By "PDF-like", do you mean to say that Quartz is based on Postscript? And it's fast???

    Now, THAT would be a thing to behold.
