  1. Some people have too much time on their hands: kindohm.com/2012/05/14/The…
  2. Are you a Senior .NET developer? Want to work for VMware? Live in Minneapolis/Saint Paul area? Ping me!
  3. Wondering when the next release of the Roslyn (compiler as a service) is going to be released. Anyone have any info?
  4. Should be true or false? - Maybe<string>.NoValue == ((string)null)
  5. Programming language design is just as much about constraining things as it is about enabling things.
  6. @cpj1 @jessegavin @jasonmotylinski @aethoninvictus No, it with just reduce the blocker's opportunities to do extraordinary things!
  7. @djidja8 :-) Probably where I'm going next...
  8. @JohnCulviner Hence my comment earlier about JavaScript being the assembly language of the Internet...
  9. @JohnCulviner For that and other reasons....
  10. @JohnCulviner Totally worth it!
  11. @attilah But that feels like a kludge.
  12. @attilah Oh, I suppose you can pass it in as a string.
  13. @attilah That's cool (thanks for sharing), but not what I was referring to. I want JS syntax to be more terse for creating functions.
  14. I would kill for C# style lambda syntax (e.g. x => x.Value) in JavaScript. JS is to verbose! (e.g. function (x) { return x.Value; })
  15. @jessegavin @jasonmotylinski @AethonInvictus No amount of blocking them is going to prevent them from doing extraordinarily bad things...
  16. @jasonmotylinski Gettin' all profound today! /cc @AethonInvictus
  17. @jasonmotylinski @AethonInvictus Use CoffeeScript or some other language to generate JS - JS is too flexible for its own good.
  18. @jasonmotylinski @AethonInvictus I'm starting to understand why some are referring to JS as the assembly language of the Internet.
