C# 9 introduces records, a new reference type for encapsulating data developers can use instead of classes and structs. "Just take those old records off the shelf"

Seems odd to write (yet another) article about a year-old language feature, and not even mention the enhancements to the feature coming out in 2 weeks with .Net 6. Is the author just trying to get "street cred" by writing simple articles about older features, not really adding anything new to the hundred articles written about this feature already?
Honestly baffled at this one.

It's InfoQ.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

While it’s impossible to predict the future, we can certainly make an educated guess based on data—and the answer might not align with your expectations. The one no one is using now?

I thought they meant grow the size of the language rather than the number of users, so I was stunned to see the low estimate for C#. And at first, I didn't even think it had made the list, but then noticed it under "Microsoft C#".

It will the a language that:
1: Has a goofy name.
2: Solves a problem 10 people actually care about.
3: Introduce an intuitive syntax that pioneers a new use for '?'.
There will be a pile of books on how this is the second coming of programming and questions about it will appear in job interviews even though nobody knows how to write a "Hello World" demo in it. I expect a splashy article about the developer in the March issue of Wired. It will be forgotten by this time next year.

In a two-year time-frame, i don't see much change; however, i think the major changes in developing apps may come from some sorting/winnowing-out of the chaotic flux now occurring in the frameworks arena. Perhaps fully fleshed-out/robust stuff like Web Components, and Web Apps ... that mere mortals can actually use ? .NET Maui ? i recently described my take on that flux on a C# forum post here: [^].
In the long run, i wonder if ... as Tim Berners-Lee has suggested ... we need a radically different internet, and, who knows, maybe there's an embryonic Einstein somewhere off-stage.
i am skeptical there will ever be a "write once, run anywhere" cross-platform whatever that will not be a mess, or, will enable the kind of deep functionality seen in today's major desktop apps that exploit unique OS facilities to the max.

Adobe is bringing Photoshop and Illustrator to the web, letting you make changes to documents hosted in the cloud without having to download them and open up the app. Same expensive product, now with network connectivity issues and fewer features!

As far as I remember, Photopea doesn't store your documents in the cloud - everything is local. It is only using the Net to send the drawing code to your browser. I've heard it is a fairly comprehensive Photoshop replacement, although I doubt it does color management and such.
Personally, Krita, Blender, an old paid version of Xara Xtreme, and an old paid copy of Photoshop work for me. The more I work with Blender, the more impressed I am by it. 2D, 3D, animation... My hat is off to Ton Roosendaal and everyone who worked on it!

In January 2020 I wrote the post Not planning now to migrate your .NET 4.8 legacy, is certainly a mistake. Hopefully we followed our own advice and have been migrated most of our non-UI code. "No pain. No gain."

The term "metaverse" seems to be everywhere. Facebook is hiring thousands of engineers in Europe to work on it, while video game companies are outlining their long-term visions for what some consider the next big thing online. Unfortunately, no one can be told what...I've just had a strange sense of deja vu. I must be in a simulation!

Smart pointers are very versatile and can hold pointers not only to single instances but also to arrays. Is that only a theoretical use case? or maybe they might be handy in some cases? Not for those that think pointers are dumb

For anyone who's interested, it's about std::unique_ptr<T[]>, which owns what you'd allocate with operator new[] before C++11. I assume there are equivalent versions of shared_ptr and weak_ptr. I've used the unique_ptr version a handful of times.

Developers have for years been decrying a perceived neglect on the part of Microsoft toward its Universal Windows Platform, and they're in voice again after the company published new guidance about migrating UWP apps to the new Windows App SDK, which used to be called Project Reunion. That's OK, you weren't using it anyway
Yeah, sorry. Kind of a dupe, but better titled than the story last week about this deprecation
