I wrote a compiler for Haskell-like lazy FP a long time ago (in 1989!) and I can assure you the compiler technologyfor lazy functional programming languages and the tech for imperative or OO languages are about the same as cats are from dogs. Or tather, as far as cats are from bacteria.
Functional languages work on an entirely different theoretical basis, never mind implementation
OpenSSH came out in 1999. We are now in 2016. Which means Windows in 17 years behind the curve. When OpenSSH was available for BSD Windows ME was the new hotness and Windows 2000 did not exist yet, never mind XP and 7.
Refer to it as "economic damage" and you will get the same result. Some of the spammers and virus writers DO cause more economic damage than Al Queda, unless you count the cost of the rather expensive War on Terror.
Well, the thing is, if this guy was a terrorist we (or rather, you, I am not in the USA) would be going after him with a drone. Which often does include blowing up his house and killing his wife, his children and his dogs. So what is different?
I have said this for a long time. If someone blows up a oil refinery and cause 1 billion dollars of damage he/she will rot in prison being fracked in their pimply ass3s for the rest of their lives.
If some hacker scum writes a virus or a hack and causes 1 Billion dollars of damage for some reason they are poor teenage hackers.
They are not. Execute them. And their families and friends and cats and dogs. Same goes for spammers. Why should a spammer who causes more than a billion dollars in lost productivity NOT be called what he is? A terrorist.
In those days bombing could solve the problem for real. But in all seriousness, this is why there are international laws about broadcasting into another country's territory. A law that Radio Free Europe conveniently ignored during the cold war.
" A cheap tablet computer has enough processing power for software development now. "
True. The iPad3 was the first tablet to be faster than a Cray X/MP which was the machine I had wet dreams about when I was a student. You really do have a supercomputer in your pocket.
I would agree with the web based editor being suck squared, but sometime using a terminal for everything because "I hatez them GUI thingz" is bull. And yes, I have someone working like that with me. His productivity is...problematic.
Exactly. Language platforms are not just about the syntax and libraries. It is also about the implementation underneath. And there different implementations have different pros and cons.
gcc has things that are not standard C++, Linux has API calls not in Windows, Firefox, Chrome, Opera all have things that IE and the other browsers can't do.
It is called "innovation"
Javascript is horrifying enough as it is, it could use some of that "innovation" thing.
Finally, a professional engineer who has a reasonable opinion as opposed to the MS hating bunch here. I would also love to use Chakra under node, would be interesting to see. Microsoft's C compiler, for one, runs rings around gcc.

The US constitution give you the right to PURSUE happiness. It does not give you the right to be happy.
This is the problem in Europe (where this girl would fit right in). Entitlement because the basic law states that you have the right to be happy.
You don't

Please tell my you are joking. When in Eclipse the Java is incrementally recompiled WHILE YOU ARE TYPING. It is not FAST, it is INSTANTANEOUS.
And tail recursion. JVM does not like that.

Er, no, you have it the wrong way. Java = sh*t. JVM = excellent, but I am thinking things running on JavaScript/V8 is better nowadays.
Well, a whole lot of sex robots will probably induce the 50% male half to stop working, sure.

Yeah but viruses and spelling mistakes do actually happen.
Just as much as distributing Jehova Witness tracts and bibles are, yes. Just as annoying though.
I was at a gay wedding this weekend and the cake was good!

Spamming is much older than ARPANET

The Windows 8 GUI is much better than the one on 7, and I am a Mac user before you accuse me of being a Windows fanboy.
Window sucked very much in 1993. I used Linux then. It was waaaaay better.
Language and compiler design is a tricky, difficult problem and innovation is a good idea. Microsoft has a world-class language/compiler group.
