You people just don't get it do you? JSON has become popular precisely because it doesn't contain all this kind of baggage, that 99% of it's users don't need and don't care about. If you want to do XML, use fucking XML.

Syntax includes language features as it their only implementation. The runtime library is not part of the language, in either case. VB9 is mostly a superset of VB6 for fairly obvious reasons. Some things are missing, like the old designer DSLs that I mentioned, and yes StrPtr. But small bits of feature depricatio...

Now that was a really stupid post. Dart may have a lot of problems, but the one he complains about is addressed by the fact that Dart can be compiled to JS. He completely fails to acknowledge that.

Dart is way off the mark, what we need is a new Pascal, what Lars Bak gives us is a repackaged Actionscript. What is impressive about V8 is that it compiles to machine code rather than run on a VM.

The 'of sorts' part is what the OP was all about. It's not enough. When you develop on Amazon or Microsoft platforms, you get the same freedom as their developers do, because their API covers *everything*. Not at all the case for Google. They allow for some bits here and there, but honestly, every single API is scarce....

We are already smart enough to design programs that run evolutionary algorithms. If we build a computer whose job it is to design an ingenious computer by evolution, I think it is possible to end up with a computer that is more ingenious than any human.

I find Dart nerve wrecking. It will remove power from the hands of end-users and will not provide a lot of power on its own because it'll have to fall-back on compiling to Javascript and the developers will try to keep a simpler core.
