A C-like language with all the OO trimmings, garbage collection, strong data types, and excellent string processing makes a powerful tool for Web programming. Because it's been almost two whole weeks since we had a new language
Yeah, I know it's not new-new.

If you like to get shafted.
It lost me at "Hello world".
P.S. That link doesn't seem to work.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Hmmm. Works for me, but Dobb's was acting up earlier today, maybe it still is?
Two ears and a tail for the shafted line.

It won't last. The Kirk Language will replace it shortly.

Not two weeks - just one day (Although the specification for minCe[^] was originally published on Apr 1st)

“Red-Green-Refactor” is a familiar slogan from test-driven development (TDD), describing a popular approach to writing software. It’s been both popular and controversial since the 2000′s (see the recent heated discussions between David Hansson, Bob Martin, and others). I find that it’s useful but limiting. Here I’ll describe some interesting exceptions to the rule, which have expanded the way I think about tests. "You don't have to put on the red light"

Then of course there's Requires-Gin-Refactor for when you're programming with a prolific lounge poster.
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?

Earlier this year, when Apple announced OS X 10.10, they said that there would be a free beta for the OS. Starting tomorrow, if you have signed up for the beta program, you will be able to download the bits in the afternoon. What an innovation! Why doesn't anyone else do this?

Javascript and its frameworks are really useful for building something with just one language. "Any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript."

JavaScript is the best language you can use in the same way that a pencil is the best word processor you can use: "It works a lot if you do a lot of work".

Companies in hiring mode say there's a shortage of tech talent, while IT pros are upping their expectations for pay and benefits. Good news for all those laid off 'Softies?

Bromium Labs today issued its "Endpoint Exploitation Trends" report that shows Internet Explorer set a record high for reported vulnerabilities in the first half of 2014, and also leads in publicly reported exploits. Good news, everyone! The universe still exists, and is operating normally.

I once cursed IE 10 during CSS test and it crushed that very moment - I just reported it to Microsoft out of fun  !

The Verge[^]:
Microsoft will "streamline the next version of Windows from three operating systems into one single converged operating system." Describing the implications of the change, Nadella said "this means one operating system that covers all screen sizes."
Even though this could simplify the situation, it's gonna be quite a challenge.

Strange he doesn't say anything about the hardware or any minimum requirements. I guess it will cover all screen sized with the same text message similar to This device doesn't meet the minimum requirement of the operating system.
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Nah, you're too pessimistic. Wait and see. After a while you can run your Dynamics AX client on your Xbox One and battle online for clients. This is the next step in gamification[^]
