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.

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.

As part of the partnership, Red Hat solutions will become available natively to Microsoft customers, and Microsoft will offer Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the preferred choice for enterprise Linux workloads. Red Hat customers will be able to bring their virtual machine images to Azure, and Azure customers will be able to take advantage of Red Hat’s JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, JBoss Web Server, Gluster Storage and OpenShift. In addition, the two companies plan to provide a “pay-as-you-go” service, called Red Hat On-Demand, for Red Hat Enterprise Linux images in Azure Marketplace. It's about time...

In the early nineties, when Microsoft was still working on Windows 95, the pressure was high. The ones even worse got to work on Windows
Or VB, or PowerPoint. Basically, fill in a product name there. It's late in the day for me. I'm blanking on really bad, but popular, Microsquish apps at the moment.
