What has TypeScript got going for it that won the Angular team over? Does anyone actually use Dart?

I tried it out, but gave up as soon as I observed different behaviour depending whether running in Dartium or compiled to JavaScript.

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?

The open source functional language created by Microsoft is showing some signs of becoming more popular among developers. What the F#?

Amazon may be the 800-pound gorilla of the cloud computing market, but Google is roaring like a lion about its new super-cheap "nearline" cloud storage service. Because people would rather pay rent than buy a new drive?

"Google on Wednesday announced Google Cloud Storage Nearline, which will cost just 1 cent per gigabyte per month for data that will be accessed in three seconds or less."
Unfortunately, the service will only be available to people who have fairies living at the bottom of their gardens.

I have a new rule that I will not read anything written by a moron who thinks that the co-ordinating "and" can be replaced by a comma.

Software developers strongly object to a recent study’s conclusion that code refactoring isn’t beneficial. Apparently articles can also be refactored

I think you're safe with this post, Kent

Exactly what I was thinking when I read the article last week.
Glad they straightened that out

With all the new (and new-ish) languages out there, you might wonder why it’s still worth learning C++, a language first invented in 1983. "Actually I made up the term "object-oriented", and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind."

Totally agree with Linus (except for small and embedded development)

Funnily, I disagree with a lot of what he posted, even though I overall agree.
He states that using STL etc. is less efficient than C. Based on what measurements, because AFAIK most good STL implementations generate code that would be hard to improve on.
Add to that high-level abstractions such as templates and lambdas.
I think that C++ is not a good OOP language, but is absolutely fine as a low-level language, and templates are great (if impenetrable). I cannot think of a single desirable thing I could do in C I could not do in C++.
On the other hand, it has definitely become too complex a language over the years. Even new additions such as rvalue references already have Scott Meyer's videos (a number) explaining how to avoid pitfalls.

First, Torvald's C++ rant is old news. Second, Torvald's rants should be taken with a grain of salt. Working in large open source projects for long periods of times damages a person's sanity, and sometimes he says crazy things to avoid unwanted code contributions.
Sane language debates should ignore Torvald's forum posts, even if they contain valid points.
