And yet the US still gives 10's of millions of US dollars to India in the form of aid every year. More than a billion dollars over the last decade. Why is that?

I find myself asking the same about the UK nowadays - India is becoming economically strong, I'll be more impressed when they deal with the appalling poverty in their own country.

Wasting absurd amounts of money on government programs without crashing the economy is one of the greatest sources of pride and joy in the USA. The US Government is like a showy tycoon who buys hundreds of luxury cars, yachts, and private jets as status symbols that he has no intention of ever even using once.
Burning only $74 million on a Mars mission is a sign of weakness on India's part. If they really wanted to be a bad-ass nation, they should have sent a Mars lander with AC, cruise control, a sun roof, oversized tires, and a load of other accessories that are absolutely pointess and absurdly expensive to build and blast into space.

Are you kidding ? You don't have a point to say anything about $74 million on a Mars.. BTW wasting 100 Million dollars on Gravity movie is that really worth ?

Well, the film grossed $274,084,951, making a handsome profit. The Mars mission, however, doesn't look like it will make a profit.

There is a reason for everything to do and it's not a movie or a joke they wanted to perform.
It's really strange that you think the Mars mission is about a profit thing. Do you have answers for the NASA's $671 million mars Maven mission ? Obviously they are not looking for any profit.
Well here's a link to know the objective of this mission, directly from ISRO

I didn't think it was about profit, but you seemed to think that the movie Gravity was a waste of money. I merely pointed out that your argument was fallacious.
Oh, and I assume that no further aid needs to be sent to India.

I, OTOH, think it was a waste of time.
I was so unenchanted with it that I can't even remember how it ended -- and I'll be damned if I'll give them more money, just to find out.

Labor is 8x cheaper in India. Hence $74 million vs. $671 million.
Besides, it'd be an egg on India's face (an American expression) if they spent $740 million when 68.7% of the country lives in poverty. Here, Clickity[^], Cickity[^] Meow
HERE's PROOF!
Today, NASA reviews each step of mission development closely, almost "to a fault," Betts said. That kind of attention to detail doesn't come cheap. Nor do American engineers. According to PayScale.com's global survey, aerospace engineers are paid a median annual salary of $9,773 in India, and almost eight times more — $75,940 — in the United States. Linky[^]

It looks like they don't have a common scene to spend $740 million, when the USA outsource software to India and almost every tiny hardware manufacturing to China 
Based on your link one interesting thing which I found out was NASA Choosing Atlas 5 Rocket to launch new mars orbiter. And the total launch service itself costed $187 million.
Quote: Each Atlas V rocket uses a Russian-built RD-180 engine burning kerosene and liquid oxygen to power its first stage and an American-built RL10 engine burning liquid hydrogen

In this study, we use the largely untapped research potential of Rosetta Code, a code repository of solutions to common programming tasks in various languages, to draw a fair and well-founded comparison of some programming languages. Your champion, for 40 years running...

I believe it. But concise code and performance aren't my top criteria. I would like to see comparison on maintainability and readability. Then again, those are quite subjective aren't they.

'struth
I do think that Ruby would come up high on that again - it's remarkably readable code IMO. (And Perl would be locked in a box, wrapped in chains, and thrown into the ocean).
Doesn't mean it's perfect for every situation of course.

Good site that - I have bookmarked "ISAAC" and will be dropping it into one of my projects tomorrow.
On the other hand, since most of the reference code is in C first then translated into other languages some of the power of those other languages is lost. None of the C# examples seem to use the Task Parallel Library for example...

That's an interesting analysis; but I'm surprised that they found Java programs to be shorter than C# equivalents. Java's always felt more verbose to me, especially compared to newer version of .net. Has anyone looked at the rosettacode samples to have an idea why?
Also, the conventional wisdom is that Java's supposed to be somewhat faster to run than C#; and since I've seen that claim on an MS slide deck earlier this year (ranked languages from slow to develop but high performing to fast development but poor performing and put java between C# and C++) I'm reasonably confident about the correctness of conventional wisdom here.
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?
