Because they can't afford the Windows Server licenses?

Yeah, one day they'll come clean and show the world all of Azure runs on one Linux box.

Did you purchase a computer powered by Intel’s Pentium 4 processor roughly 15 years ago? If so, you may be eligible to receive a cash payout of $15 as settlement in a long-running class-action lawsuit against Intel and HP. I hope you kept your receipt
|
|
|
|
|
Why, yes, I purchased several thousand of them. Trust me. 
|
|
|
|
|
I purchased 3 for family. I'll apply for them. They'll get $15 in the mail.
 WTFunds?!

This is a free service from Microsoft that allows you to run the latest version of Internet Explorer on the Windows 10 Technical Preview from your Windows, Mac OS X, iOS or Android devices, without the need to run a new OS or heavyweight virtual machine on your device. Going forward, this will be the recommended way for developers who are not running Windows 10 to test the latest IE preview versions. Running your web browser on the web!
Webbing the web webbity web!

Sounds like a good start; if they really want to make web devs happy they'll also add all the legacy IE versions to the service as well.
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?

Is this the MS way of introducing recursion to their users?
What would be the base case? Or is that a "will not happen" prayer?

These strong alternatives to the popular languages are gaining steam -- and may be the perfect fit for your next project. Just in case Algol is boring you these days

It's interesting how four of them are functional programming languages?
As to cutting edge, I don't know. Erlang, Scala, Haskell, and OCaml have been around for a while.
Then you've got 2 Google languages.
And then you've got the sewer Javascript enhancement languages.

Yes, but "a while" is relative, most of computing still seems to think the 1970's are state-of-the-art (the compile-link cycle, is a hangover, from batch processing of compilation tasks), and UNIX was developed then, and most "modern" O/S still haven't progressed much further (at heart at least - GUI's may be a bit prettier).
So, by those terms, most of that list are "cutting edge".

When building for the Web, developers tend to use a myriad of different tools which often don’t work well together. This means you end up switching between different tools, platforms and browsers which can slow you down and make you less productive. By developers, for developers

Nah, developers are incapable of consensus, one of the requirements of a functional committee.

No GUI, command prompt only !

You can have a "GUI" in the command prompt. Even "Windows".
A lot of applications would benefit from such a no-nonsense UI.

..but will it help you debug differences in Javascript and DOM features between FF, Chrome, IE and Safari?
I think NOT!
Sorry Opera, but my company officially does NOT support you so I don't have to.

Google's guiding principle in all that it does is "don't be evil", a slogan that has, inevitably, been mocked over the years, particularly as issues of user privacy have gradually gained more widespread attention in recent times. But, "OK, we admit it: we're totally evil." just doesn't work on bumper stickers as well
|

Page means that the slogan originally was created towards customers and not the company as most people think. He mean to put some effort (and money) to explain it, via advertising the wrong-doings of Google's customers...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)
