Which means (in most cases) "I did not do a conscious choice based on reviews and comparisons and just followed the hype.". A bit sad.
Yep, he just won a lottery, good for him!
Seems nice, but doesn't support mainstream languages e.g. C#, Java.
The choice is platform-dependent.
There is no IT workforce shortage in UK. Last time I checked average salaries were around 35-45 band. This is a strong indicator that demand is satisfied. At least for now.
Probably the same reason Microsoft is also promoting C++ and JavaScript (both are utterly ugly when compared to C#/F#) for Windows 8 - to expand developer base.
That's funny and sad in the same time! If you want to try a new language for a game just do: 1) F# + NuGet + Visual Studio + ReSharper or 2) Scala + Maven + IntelliJ IDEA
And what is in your opinion better then WPF?
It is not about maturity - I am pretty sure first version of C# was performing better then Java back then, because C# team could learn from Java mistakes.
Random decision by a random person.
Well, you better know the code you have written...
It is basically as if Flash Player became a browser. Exactly, an open source standardized VM would be ideal, then you would have a choice of languages as well.
The only amazing stuff is the distribution mechanism really. Other stuff is just plain old OpenGL but in your browser this time. It is not like it has some crazy support for raytraced voxels or something.
So it basically means that C++ got another reasonable compilation target. Not much to do with applying JavaScript to large-scale games. Also it is not HTML 5, it is HTML FF23.
...and they do not want to be better.
"As Google hires all of the world’s good software engineers" - probably an exaggeration, but definitely not true. At least in UK salaries there are lagging, only good for experience and to have it on your CV. Any…
Loyalty already has a definition: stock options. I am loyal to the spirit of the company, and that spirit is always about making money. Just give people a slice of cake, goddamit!
Exactly. Right tool for a right task. No hype.
What do you expect from a title that says "Your language sucks, please just pay some attention to our project"?
Node & Scala haven't even defeated their predecessors yet. Another obscure functional language?
"For every two students that U.S. colleges graduate with STEM degrees, only one is hired into a STEM job." As if everyone who graduates is actually capable of doing the job. As if all the colleges are equal.
