Have a look at TypeScript[^]. It's typed javascript that compiles to regular javascript.
I know, a monkey with a dress and lipstick is still a monkey, but you have to look at it from a distance.
And it's actually the brainchild of Anders Hejlsberg, so I believe the monkey even has a wig.

ECMA6 spec seems like a step in a right direction, though. Why, that monkey might now even get a hat and sunglasses!

It was designed for people who find VB too difficult to get right.

Welcome to the club. The 'ok, it works' feeling will quickly pass once you get to know it closer and then you will feel really dirty.
I have no idea what kind of masochist would want to do more than some trivial scripting on a website with it.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

That's how I (and many others?) feel about VBA.

I agree, but now I'm happy with NodeJS, (almost) never to write browser JS again. However the most awesome features are the one known as "bad practice". It seems with a great power comes "what the **** is happening here?" thoughts.

If you really want to get your feet wet with JS, then brace yourself, it's more functional than most OOP people are used to.

The Google cross platform system: http://flutter.io/faq/[^]
I'm not, not just yet - because I'd need to learn DART and there is no dev kit for Windows yet - but I can see that as a major advantage over Xamarin. If nothing else, there isn't the payments every year they want which has put me off investing in them so far.
But...it looks interesting.

Flutter and Dart, eh? The result of their combination is somewhat rhyming to Dart itself. 
Everything, "cross-platform" is either based on JavaScript and HTML, or costs a fortune cookie! It's all a lie, a very big lie.
P.S, if you want Xamarin for free, imitate being a Student[^].

That would not sit well with me, it's on a par with "copying software isn't stealing it" in my moral code.
I don't expect others to live by my personal code, but I do expect me to!

Actually, Xamarin, even as me for a student, is not a good platform to write applications for.
Qt is a much better one, but they have an opposite code, they would want money if you make some. Otherwise, they're free!

Only 2D for now.
They tell about a long-term plan for 3D. Not sure about the time period, though.

I think there is a typo where they talk about Dart. I bet it should read Darth...

Everyone and their mother seems to be getting in on the act. Sigh, a plethora of multi-platform dev tools, 90% of them will probably be crapware.
