In reality it's just a.net version of Ocaml. Not that that's bad, mind you, but it's hardly revolutionary, or even innovative.
I will give them props for doing it though; I'm surprised Microsoft would bankroll anything related to functional programming for at least 8 years from now.
Compare their stock price to the common indices. He's done significantly worse than the S&P and Dow, and barely eked out a little better than the NASDAQ.
Also in that article: "He declared in an interview that he tried to persuade his interviewers to free the IE code even before Netscape did with their own browser."
Try this: Take a piece of plastic wrap and hold it to your ear for the duration of a long phone call. At the end your ear will feel warm and perhaps you will feel sweat between your ear and phone. Where's that heat coming from, hmmm?
It misses a lot of stuff to be sure, but it got the GoodYear logo of my son's toy truck, correctly identified an Audobon print in my living room, the Stevens Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment book (from the spine, and rotated about 30*-45*, no barcode to be seen), and even correctly identified my guitar as a Fender Jazz Bass. How it figured out it was a *bass* at all I fail to comprehend; 5 string tuners instead of 6? And a/jazz/ bass? Maybe it guessed and got lucky.
Not "NOT welcome", but just around "tolerated". This is the land of those that not only don't believe everything they read, but rather disbelieve everything they see. It's the same group that on every video they view, comment "fake".

I think it'd be easy for Google to proactively email both of those people and let them know the difference. But then, they're the authors, so even that might not be necessary.

I go through this at my company. We have a cadre of theoretical purists who code they way [they think] they SHOULD be coding, and the way it SHOULD work. In the end, what SHOULD be and how other things SHOULD be using or working with your stuff doesn't mean $#@!. What matters is it works. PA doesn't.

> Throughout the entire history of WoW all the way from release until today, PvP realms as a whole have been less popular then PvE realms.
The same was true of Everquest, which was arguably "hardercore", and predated WOW by a few years.
> C# 2.0 and above has generics that Java language designers would call "reified"
Is this the same issue as Java generics doing type-erasure?
Yes, and with synergy. But only when well timeboxed.

I do much the same. I waffle between light grey and "wheat"* for the background, but never, ever white.

Awesome, thanks. I dug a little harder and was able to get nasdaq give me what I wanted:

Now THAT'S innovation.
....Zed wants everyone to be just like him.
Thanks for that; I *KNEW* this sounded familiar and had seen it, or something like it, once before.
Is mono endorsed by microsoft?
> I absolutely agree, sort of.
Is that agreeing more or less than, "I sort of agree, absolutely."?
Serious question: What platform(s) does the CLI target? Today, in that, I can use?
Also in that article: "He declared in an interview that he tried to persuade his interviewers to free the IE code even before Netscape did with their own browser."
I can't imagine why MS didn't hire him.

> Secondly how come Google's own Google Maps works better on the iPhone than Android phones?
In what way? I don't have an iphone so I have no basis for comparison, but the Motorola Droid's Google maps is supersplendiforous.
He WAS the father of the country...
Maybe where you're from you can't...
You could move to the states; then you can enjoy it EVERY day.

Ok, ok, that was mean. Mod me down.
They lost track of time playing with new time scheduling software?
+1 I'm with you there. I'm still using my Razr V3 after at least one complete dunking (while off, thank goodness) and it's still going strong.
I haven't found batteries overly expensive though... In 3 years though, I've only replaced it once.
That said, I'm still seriously considering a Droid.
> The Razr was a disaster.
Wait, what? By what objective measure would you consider this a disaster?
