A language with extensive metaprogramming support, generics and exception tracking built in, optional garbage collection, and rivals C in performance. And it can compile to C, C++, Objective-C, or JavaScript. Because there is a shortage of programming languages

Did you mean a sharkage of programming languages? 
The "flexible" syntax makes it optimal for large-team-projects. And...
[...] it's common to prefix the enum values with a two-letter abbreviation. The case part in the object declaration introduces a checked union. So the access of f.name will raise an exception if f.kind != fkVar.
Run-time type checking of enums (forget C++11 strongly typed enums) makes it ideal as a "systems programming language". It should be a piece of cake to rewrite Linux in it.

In Sencha poll, developers say they want to build with HTML5 technologies, while desktop interest dips. Wow. Surveying "business application developers from the HTML5 development community" shows increase in HTML5 use. Whodathunkit?
|
|
|
|

Quote: Sencha found that 70-plus percent of developers planned to do more with HTML5 in the 2013 timeframe than they had done the previous year. And 75 percent will work further with HTML5 in 2014.
The article itself has a 2014 date, but this quote makes me suspect they're regurgitating old content. If it only had a single year I'd suspect a typo; but talking about plans for 13 and 14 make me suspect it's source is from mid last year at best.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I think it might be more of a case of mistaken Infoworld author. The survey was published today on the Sencha site[^], and asks "Are you currently doing more, less or about the same amount of work in your chosen technology this year vs. last?" and "Next year, will you do more, less or about the same amount of work in your chosen technology?". I think he just plugged the wrong years in mentally.
After all, I keep writing "Year of the Snake" on cheques, rather than "Year of the Horse"

In other news, 94% of developers queried recently by LispWorks [^] said they use Lisp as their primary programming language. This came as a shock to the general web programming community, who expected developers to cite JavaScript, TypeScript or CoffeeScript as their language of choice.

Ask a C# related question and get snippets inside your IDE. Could this be the solution to "Need codez plz?"

That looks like it could be really nice. Too bad it seems to be C# only.
