Awesome…just awesome!
Crazy quote:
“Harry Pierson, Microsoft program Manager, answered that he thought ‘JavaScript is a very odd language for most developers’.”
Might be odd, unless you don’t care about the web, which Microsoft would prefer not to.
Er, no. Javascript makes the web worse. java, javascript, flash, silverlight on the web = FAIL.
Those open-minded people could save Microsoft in the long run, sometime down the road when they have to think about making money again
Please note that Hanselman is not the typical Microsoft exec. He is very honest abouat the tecnologies he uses and he is a very smart guy overall. His blog is at http://www.hanselman.com/blog , and it’s definitely worth checking out.
Ok the javascript now it runs fast and it will run faster.
I’m sure Google services will work great on Chrome.
But what about the Adobe and Microsoft development tools for flash and siliverlight? How do you compete with them?
And i think that in the next 24 months you ain’t gonna see Windows pretty much anywhere.
