Chrome is pretty much a bloatware with no useful features.
No, it isn't faster. It justs starts to load the pages before it has the full content.
mono and .net are no better at such situations. also, if you want value types, there is scala.

Clojure doesn't competes with anything because almost nobody uses it. It's actually just an over-hyped script language used by script kiddies. There are so many drawbacks in that language but of course, zealotry fuels…

The one-vendor theory and the herd mentality did and does a great disservice for tech, humanity and its rights. We should concentrate more on open standards and software freedom to avoid all the trouble.
Lisp is a cult. It doesn't have any benefit but that doesn't matter for cultists. Lisp code is terrible in practice: https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/calc/...
They are called __trolls__.
Python maybe better but there are FAR better languages out there...
Of course. f# is just an ocaml-copy. The other is just a lisp.
Electron is the worst thing happened to desktop apps lately. They're slow and resource-hungry. It's a really bad idea.
Just use http://www.scalafx.org/ - no xml, more available libraries, better performance, better cross-platform development(IntelliJ etc.) with a modern language.
Maybe your site is visited from these "enterprise" computers where people are forced to use the default browser. Or you can assume the lack of tech knowledge about people who use IE/Edge by will.

Do you find it more comfortable to constantly fight with your malicious OS vendor about its greatly annoying and disrespectful decisions?
Interesting, gaming is one of my hobbies and I've switched to linux years ago. Most games I play are native and a few which aren't run on wine. The more people moving to linux = more games will be available on linux.
What's the problem with wine and crossover? Btw, you can pay for crossover to support its developers.
The windows support doesn't worth anything, usually the supporters can't help coworkers. Also, windows 7 is too unstable to use at work.
Just ditch win and m$ and get freedom with linux. You're all just giving up your rights for privacy and your freedom to get locked to a company doing malicious shit for decades in exchange for a few exclusive apps.…
Alternatively, if you don't need: privacy, a fast OS with a diverse set of desktops for power users, comfortable development environment with power tools, security, open standards, sane package management(don't even…
Most universities introduce young students to programming with C/C++ and depending on the orientation they'll either learn Java or C#(if the university prefers ms) or JS/PHP. Other languages used to be optional or…
