CoffeeScript is really not *that* different than JavaScript. Just learn a couple new syntax rules for the same old things. Can you honestly glance over this and tell me it would be "difficult" for you to learn CoffeeScript after already knowing JavaScript?
If it matters that much to you, then a) fix it yourself, or b) hop on irc channels, mailing lists, forums, bug trackers, etc, and beg repeatedly. Offer to buy someone free pizza for adding it. (Or, you know, donate enough money to compensate someone for adding the feature)
I don't use Google+ much, but when I joined I almost without thinking immediately added 2 of my college professors into a "Teachers" circle. Circles ftw.
After RTFS, I get the impression that the teacher said something like "Creationism is false. Creationism is garbage."
After RTFA, I realize the teacher basically said "creationists rarely use scientific arguments to support their belief."

there should have been a replacement for C/C++ by now
Well it's certainly not for lack of options. It's just as you said, legacy code has this evil property of long overstaying its welcome, and the need for backwards compatibility will forever haunt us.
Where's the scientific study proving that "people have less time to play games than they did before"? Sure, that's true of people that have *grown up*, but guess what, there's a new generation that has tons of time to kill. It's always been true that few people play a long video game to completion.
Heck, the publicity Scrolls (or whatever it may be called in the future) has gotten is already way more than it ever would have been had Bethesda not sued. Looks like a win-win already, and a live stream of this match would only be even more win-win regardless of the outcome.
What's with the random links in TFS? Specifically, why link to c2.com for "type inference" and intel.com for "lambda functions"? Wikipedia wasn't good enough for those?
Notch says "The implication that you could own the right to all individual words within a trademark is also a bit scary."
Well Notch could be a little more creative than using a single dictionary word to name his game. I hope he isn't planning to assert any trademark on the word "Scrolls".
Even in the absurd case that Google actually did this, they would be destroyed instantly by the hundreds of patent-holding software companies (and trolls). Google's big but it's not *that* big.
While what you say is true, I have a hard time blaming anyone for messing up legislation that is based on a broken concept like "intellectual property". If it isn't tangible, how can you "own" it? Rather than saying "you can't", as they probably should, they instead weave all kinds of nonsense legislation around the flawed concept.

...to just build the Python interpreter right into browsers, like JavaScript.
if you exercise 7 hours a week, you become immortal
In reality, some people exercising 7 hours a week will live much longer than that
Who are these people and can I have their autograph?

You don't watch the people playing, you watch the people playing, aka their on-screen avatar or whatever.

MS will do what they did with the xbox, keep pouring money down a hole just to get some traction in the market.
Worked pretty good for the xbox.
the whole damn system is broken
Welcome to the human race, also known as the rat race.
all posts here are pretty useless since I suspect very few of us will bother to rtfa.

Excuse me, sir. The Cylons would like a word with you.

Flash has none of these problems! Flash solves everything. /sarcasm
So...let's all use BlackBerries and and Palms instead?

Now *that* would be a more interesting "what if". What if Apple bought Google? *brain explodes*
