While Windows 8 already supports development using a number of programming languages, Microsoft wants developers to bring even more to the new Windows runtime (WinRT) at the heart of the next version of Windows. What language would you like to see supported by Windows 8?

RPG.
I hope WinRPG will be supported on ALL future versions of Windows.

Don't forget APL.

I'm sure they will get the support they deserve. The same they got for Vista.

there are too many languages that they can't exclude ,But why would they attack win7 by bringing win8 up to scene
well they had enough from the slow motion in previous window versions developing.
There is always hope ..!

C. As long as the operating system is C, I will wrote in C.

A while back Microsoft started spinning up loads of uservoice.com (UV) sites to collect feedback. There is an odd issue I see on UV. As technology users & developers we are taught to give the most detail possible. However, in UV, it seems that Microsoft ignores that and favours those who do and give very little. Microsoft apparently wants you to just complain, not to offer solutions.

Everybody tells you to build a funnel for your startup website. That is, have 1,2, or 3 pages that serve to take the site visitor from reading something that interests them to buying/signing-up for your product. They are wrong. Here's my experience. I really don't know what people want, I just know what I'm offering them.

It’s not clear how many people enjoy looking at programs that make compilers crash — but this post is for them (and me). Can we conclude anything just by looking at these? Not really, but it's fun anyway. Many of these C fragments are not obviously hard to compile... and figuring out why the fun of it.

When the Internet was created, decades ago, one thing was inevitable: the war today over how (or whether) to control it, and who should have that power. Battle lines have been drawn between repressive regimes and Western democracies, corporations and customers, hackers and law enforcement. Who will win in the end? In the Battles of SOPA and PIPA, Who Should Control the Internet?

In the nearly 30 years since Tetris’s invention — and especially over the last five, with the rise of smartphones — Tetris and its offspring have colonized our pockets and our brains and shifted the entire economic model of the video-game industry. Today we are living, for better and worse, in a world of stupid games. Level up your low-brow game culture.

When we discuss the use of online privacy, we too often forget the social context in which data exists, even when we're talking about social media. And the victims of a service like Girls Around Me shouldn't be blamed for not understanding the arcane privacy settings of services like Facebook. People use social media to to communicate with friends, not to have their data sold to the highest bidder.

For years, Microsoft kept its distance from the open source movement, and at one point, CEO Steve Ballmer referred to Linux as a cancer, seeing the open source OS as a threat to Microsoft’s Windows operating system and other proprietary tools built by the Redmond software giant. But in recent years, the company has come to realize that it needs the open source community on its side. It's all about the Hyper-V.

One of the first things a software engineer learns is “don’t reinvent the wheel”. If something is already made, use that instead of writing your own. Writing your own tools and libraries, even when one already exists, is labelled “NIH syndrome” and is considered quite bad. Surely, reinventing the wheel can’t be bad when your new wheel improves existing wheel designs, right? But what if my version is better?
|
|
|
|
|
And usually my wheel is better. Because I don't copy blindly ripoffs from code sites, adding my mistakes as well.
It's like music: you want Led Zeppelin? Get Jimmy Page and refine and retune each and every sound.
Otherwise go on Ibiza and do remix of remix of remix. And the result is the most garbage of the garbage known to man: european discopop. I would call it [complete here with the hype scripted language of the day].

Actually, it’s even worse than that – it’s really 67.37% – but let’s not split hairs over that right now. The point is that it’s an alarmingly high number for what amounts to very simple configuration vulnerabilities. Here's what you need to know. Server Error in "/funny subhead" Application.

It’s really not that hard to make an awesome command-line app. If you do it right, the end result is a highly polished, well-documented, easily installable and maintainable piece of software that will be a part of my command-line arsenal for quite a while. These rules will help. sudo solve my problems --now!

PowerShell is even a better environment.

Powershell does have a lot going for it, but I personally find bash/zsh more useful as the universe of tools and knowledge to draw upon is orders of magnitude larger than for Powershell.

I do not know about bash/zsh, but going OO has significant advantages, and few disadvantages. The disadvantage would be that more thought has to go into creating scripts.

Marijn Haverbeke is not only the author of several pretty useful Common Lisp libraries (some of which he touches in the interview), but also a succesful JavaScript hacker, winning JS1K contest, and writing a profound book about the language — "Eloquent JavaScript". Besides, he hacks on Mozilla Rust and his own language Hob, not to mention co-authoring a JavaScript-to-Common-Lisp transpiler, writing some games in Scheme, and experimenting with Haskell. Marijn Haverbeke wrote one of the most influential books on JavaScript. Here are his thoughts on Lisp.

Back in the 80’s, home computers like the Commodore 64 had an integrated BASIC interpreter. Any kid could learn programming on these machines. Actually, this was one of the major selling points to parents. Unfortunately, today no tablet comes with an interpreter built-in; actually some tablet vendors seem to actively discourage such interpreters. This means that no one can learn how to program on a tablet. It could help a whole generation of kids to learn programming.

Not even a Windows 7 tablet? One I tried had CSC, it must have had VBC as well. Granted that's not exactly the same as a BASIC interpreter, but it still allows the user to use/learn a programming language.
