Microsoft Releases New Concurrent Programming Language
zokier writes "Microsoft has released a new programming language called Axum, previously known as Maestro and based on the actor model. It's meant to ease development of concurrent applications and thus making better use of multi-core processors. Axum does not have capabilities to define classes, but as it runs on the .NET platform, Axum can use classes made with C#. Microsoft has not committed to shipping Axum since it is still in an incubation phase of development so feedback from developers is certainly welcome."
on, that is.
I realize that most of the slashdot crowd thinks having to do everything from the command line based on a man page is a good thing, but for the rest of us it stopped being cool when we got out of school and had to get a job where they expected us to actually get shit done and not sit around all day with our thumbs up our asses playing with Linux.
That's cute. In response, 99% of Linux users would've used their package manager to install the equivalent and all its dependencies, and the other 1% would've downloaded the source to deal with it themselves (because someone has to make the packages, right)?
So let's boil down your argument to: "I bet people using a different computer system than mine like to do things a dumb way! I'm smart! Har-har-har!"
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
I bow to your impressive powers of highschoolish rhetoric. I'll let you sit behind the comfort of your keyboard as you feel all mighty and witty. If insulting gives you comfort from the fact that you cannot elaborate a logical counter-argument, more power to you. After all, if you cannot defend your point of view logically and methodically, then you never had a valid point of view to begin with.
