Release Team Proposes Gnome 3.0 Plans

Posted by timothy on from the gnome-rocks-and-so-does-kde dept.

benuski writes "Today at GUADEC, the Gnome User and Developer European Conference, the gtk+ team announced their plans for gtk+ 3.0; immediately after, the Gnome release team announced their plans for Gnome 2.30 to be changed into Gnome 3.0. This would mean a release date a year and a half to a year in the future. Details are short at the moment, but the Gnome team seems to be following in KDE's footsteps, but hopefully will avoid the problems that plagued KDE 4.0's release."

      I have yet to figure out what the Apple fascination with the prefix i- on absolutely everything is supposed to signify?

    Luckily for Gnome, when 3.0 ships missing a lot of features, nobody will notice.

    Is developer arrogance a bug or a feature?

    A bug, outside of the Redmond and Cupertino areas.

  9. .NET is standardized by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    The way Microsoft released the specifications for the .NET it is not encumbered. Plus, there aren't really many alternatives for using C#/.NET.

    It (C#) is a fine language, built on the learn lessons from earlier languages. It is more expressive, less error prone to work with, and also performs quite well. On top of that, there is a huge standard library (.net core libraries), which makes it quite easy to start implementing the features instead of re-inventing the wheel. The only mature enough language alternative that I can see is Java. The same goes for standard library support as well.

    However, Java and C#/.NET are not really comparable. Microsoft built theirs learning from the mistakes of the Java as well. They did very, very well. Technologies like LINQ and WPF are good examples of awesomeness.
