Ask HN: Who's next to be assassinated (in next .NET)?
WF 4? WPF? Silverlight? F#? An OSS ecosystem evolves based on needs (wrong or right) and those fulfill a promise, prevail. In .NET our lives(money) as developers(stockholders) is being spent for .NET evolution so we deserve a bit more respect from Microsoft. In WF 4 you can use just VB for expression. What does that mean? That means WF 4 is developed by those parts of Microsoft that produce bulky things to pretend something important is going on (Like this Vista thing that was installed on my Studio XPS 16 when I bought it to do my job - and don't advocate me to blow up my whole dev-life to be an OSS developer; not now). So what do you think? Extensions for parallel programming? MVC? And why F# is a maimed creature? To be dead for granted? Who is using VB.NET anyway? Implementors of those stupid standards developed by lawyers and physicians for software engineers? Is HTML5/Microsoft just a bad joke? Like MS-Java? J#? I actually like .NET; but it happen's to behave a bit provocative.
