Doxygen documentation is generated from code comments. a) it compiles away b) it can't be closer to the context to which it applies c) reading math is possible, reading code is easier, but reading plain english is usually preferred to somebody having to access unfamiliar territory. d) it beats 'voodoo code'.

The trouble with not starting with ASM/C is a person tends to carry-on without a healthy respect for memory management.

I'm surprised that AMD aren't contributing to LLVM, as they don't have a compiler in the same way Intel do, and it would be good to get LLVM's optimisations at least on par with GCC, if not better. I'm hoping that LLVM eventually can get to the level of ICC.

I don't think it would be very beneficial to Apple, at least on the iOS side. They're already the main platform for most mobile game studios, and they've already invested in OpenGL ES. Adding DirectX support doesn't gain Apple a whole lot, and opens up easy portability with WP7.

Yes, and developers are CHOOSING Win32-API, and Cocoa, and XCode, and hundreds of other proprietary solutions, because either it hasn't reached long-term yet, or the market is being influenced. What the vender chooses to provide is based solely on what is most profitable in the market. Open solutions are eventually th...

You are right, it is a question of commutativity of accumulator-changing function. In the case of multiplication it degenerates to associativity.

No because unlike Java in C# everything really is an object. So false is an object. Objects can be compared to null. You do get a warning though that this particular statement will always be false because value types are never null.
