It does - it absolutely guarantees you a job.

That depends... is it a developers' nude beach volleyball event?

Earlier this year, the European Union accused Google of monopolistic practices, alleging that, among other things, it unfairly prioritized its comparison shopping service when users searched for things to buy. Air is free too, and I think someone could take advantage of my use of it

There are many ways to measure the popularity of a language. But this dataset is a rare way to find out what technologies people tend to dislike, when given the opportunity to talk about them. "And I hate that I love you so"

I'm happy to see that SourceSafe is still highly hated.
I'd rather be phishing!

That first graph is illuminating. I guess I have to embrace the fact that I am rather contrarian. I love .NET and C#, can't stand Git (but use it), and I rather loathe duck-typed and dynamic runtime typed language.
No wonder I find it hard to find people that think like me. And to think, I'll probably be coding for a living for at least another 15 years.
[edit]On the other hand, the data may be skewed by the type of people that use SO Careers. The open-source, script kiddie, interpreted, no static type checking, latest unvetted technology, *nix camp people. Sort of makes sense that they'd be looking for work. Well, I feel better now: ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif) [/edit]

I've used commercially or at least to "Hello World" level these languages:
VB (more-or-less all variants)
C
C++
Pascal
Fortran
JavaScript
CoffeeScript
C#
F#
Python
Perl
Ruby
Java
Scala
Eiffel
T-SQL
PL/SQL
PowerShell
Nant
MSBuild
The only one I really hate is Perl.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

An open source project called Granular has re-implemented .NET's Windows Presentation Foundation on JavaScript. Yes, that's WPF for JavaScript.! You might be wondering why. Actually, my first question kind of rhymed with WPF.

I am still wondering why.

Going to test a bit more in depth, though...

WTF?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Quote: The advantage of this approach is that you can develop your program using Visual Studio and you can stay away from messy browser things.
Last time someone tried to create a web UI framework that "stayed away from messy browser things" we got Web Forms with its abominable Viewstate. Thanks, but I think I'll pass.

Well, on the one hand, I'm a big fan of WPF...
On the other hand, I've used GWT... 
So this could go either way.

Oh, boy! JavaScript is not slow enough already so we need to add heavy frameworks on top of it

The uservoice item is currently at 48k votes; which is more than everything else on the first page if sorted by vote totals and nearly 4x the 2nd highest voted item. It probably helps a bit that 99% of the people going to there don't have anything else to rage at though. I've got 1 vote x 10 items on my work and personal email addresses for visual studio items.

HipChat, the team chat platform Atlassian acquired in 2012, now allows developers to build apps that run directly inside its user interface.
Until now, developers were only able to push inbound messages to HipChat through its existing API, and create their own custom slash commands. That was mostly on par with what HipChat competitor Slack also currently offers. HipChat Connect takes this a step further. It's Hip to be square.
