> One thing to remember, that is mentioned in the article, is that most of the programmers out there are working on CRUD style apps or similar. For these kinds of programs, Scala is not dramatically better enough to justify the cognitive load it introduces. I do think this is actually the key point. I had kind of thought that once the dot-com bubble burst, this style of "if you built it, they will come" web programming would abate and web apps would have to do actual computation to add value. I still think this is true—the real winners in the space do a _lot_ of computation—but in general it seems to be taking longer for the industry to shift than I would have predicted.

Right VB6 and VB.NET are like day and night. Maybe because they all share XAML and Silverlight and WPF shared a lot that WinRT will share with others just as much. Anyway, today's keynote should start in 20 minutes and it'll be about development tools. [Linky](http://www.buildwindows.com/).

Everyone at the conference* is getting a tablet that runs Visual Studio 11. I got to play with it and it seems to run just as good as my laptop. Toss it in a docking station with a monitor and keyboard and you've got yourself a decent workstation. *: except me and the other members of the press

They do, and it's how I have mine setup. [linky](http://www.jan-olof-lindqvist.se/windows-7-and-vista-mouse-focus-on-window-without-raising-the-window/). The 'full x-mouse' thing didn't work, but I did get focus-follows-mouse. There are some quirks, but for the most part it's ok. It's not mentioned there, but you'll want to add a delay. Add a new key (the old one is a typo!) called ActiveWndTrkTimeout and make it around 150. This is the focus delay and helps when moving from the taskbar to other windows. Most apps work well, but I've noticed VisualStudio is an asshole and jumps to the foreground when it gets focus. The only other issue I run into is dragging windows sometimes end up behind others. This might be partially because of my multiple monitors.

The Windows 7 beta was actually really good from what I remember. I was running it on a spare machine, figuring it would be a disaster, but it actually was so functional, I pre-ordered Windows 7. I pre-ordered a friggin' operating system. I normally wait two years for all the bugs to get worked out, but I was that impressed by Win7.

> Any dev worth their salt will isolate the Device calls from everything else in a seperate thread beforehand. If you do that you are still burning a thread when you may not need to. They want you to make calls using I/O Completion Ports whenever possible. Microsoft is very, very serious about performance and responsiveness. Any WinRT call that takes longer than 50 milliseconds must be performed in an asynchronous manner. Basically they are creating a “pit of success” where doing the wrong thing is harder than doing the right thing.

I was thinking the same thing. It isn't like this is aimed at "consumers." If a developer cannot figure out how to install uTorrent then frankly they aren't really a developer. The only people who I can think of which are commercially using BitTorrent at the moment are Blizzard and Linux vendors. Damn shame really.

It's in the nightlies, I'm getting a 50% performance boost out of it. :D Still waiting on IonMonkey to land though (So it can perform optimizations that Chrome's V8 engine does). That's a JIT optimization, what I was thinking was a change in the language itself (Also javascript's "number" type (basically a var that's determined to be a number (Self-explanatory). :/ ) is a horrible thing to work with compared to even Java's variable typing system).

Technically it is still down to implementation. If a human can write faster code, so can a machine. If your implementation is able to infer intent from the code, you can automatically rewrite the code in the most efficient way possible without being hung up on any language implementation issues. Granted, I think we have a long way to go before we are at the point were we can pull that off reliably, but the potential is always there.

that's the kind of "aha moments" that make a programmer love scala. The ones you feel make you a better programmer and programming itself a joy again and not a toil. Sadly, they're also the kind of things you don't want to be explaining on a long distance call to the people your company has outsourced development to ("so, here I've used monads.... yes... well it's a concept that comes from category theory and.... hello?? hello??!?")

What do you mean by a "native compiler"? Firefox, Chrome and Safari all ship with JIT compilers already. JavaScript is one of the fastest dynamic languages available, right there with Lua, SmallTalk and Lisp. Slow compared to C and Java? Yes, in many cases. Slow as in Python and Python? Definitely not, far from it.

I wonder what would happen if it was compatible with the iPad or iPhone CPU (Since they're ARM based). DAE think the JB community would try to cram Win8 into one for the lulz (They did it with Android)? In b4 the JB community's "DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT"

Is there something wrong with tablet OS for tablets and desktop OS (or "UI") for desktops? I can't imagine a world where one could be as productive in an office suite using a touch interface compared to a keyboard/mouse. I don't mind things changing (I own an iPad and a touch phone), but it seems like they're trying to turn a lemon into an orange.

> and how bad can they mess it up anyway? Considering I just spent the last 3 months of my life fixing a Java system for a major European corporation, which is integral to their business, i'd say: pretty fucking badly. That being said, most 'bad' Java programs, aside from simply shitty coding, tend to be bad because there is a bad process at work. Most Java developers I know have their heads screwed on well enough to at least not *obviously* suck. It seems that bad decisions get made higher up in the team and this causes bad things to happen further down. If your input is broken, your output is going to be broken too.

> The worst part is that Java itself is evolving in that same direction; with the addition of features-with-a-learning-curve like generics, closures, etc. Java's greatest strength was that it was designed for the lowest-common-denominator programmer. I'm going to dispute this a bit. I don't think closures have any more of a learning curve, it's just that they're more foreign for us older started-with-assembly-for-performance crowd. I can teach (and have) a 10 year old child how to program with closures faster than I can teach a Java/C#1 programmer how to program with closures. How? I teach closures before classes and assembly. The Java/C#1 programmer will whinge that they already have a full toolkit with which they can "program anything" and will tune out. In the SICP lectures they teach "closures" early and quickly. Lecturer says something like: "By now you're probably confused about the distinction between procedures and data. That's good."

I know L2S can do lefts, rights, outers, etc. Not sure about L2E. Could probably do something similar.

You brought up some great points, and you've mostly swayed from being abhorrent of tablets despite having and developing for one at the office. I've mostly seen them as coffee table decoration until now, and while the iPad still doesn't appeal to me, I certainly can see the potential in Android and Windows 8 tablets. My principal problems with it as a replacement to a "proper computer", however, are: * Poor input, and pairing a keyboard with it defeats the benefit of portability; * Hardly portable as you will need to take it in a bag, and in that sense you might as well have a netbook; * Can't share files over a network; * Lack of I/O means you can't attach external peripherals such as keyboards, mice or USB pendrives Furthermore, on the iPad only, you can't (easily) exchange files or data between apps. Android has a fairly rudimentary solution for this, but nothing matches the ease of drag & drop on Windows, OS X or Ubuntu.

I too hate the typing for apps "feature". Yes, in some cases it may be slightly faster but I like a nice organized presentation of my installed apps that I can visually scan through. There are times when I want to use an app I don't use often, and sometimes I forget the name, so being able to view a list (I prefer the full-screen list from XP over Win7's small scrollable one) is useful. Also, nothing's worse than doing Win+N or whatever and getting the wrong app because you installed something else with a similar name (Calculator and OpenOffice Calc come to mind, as does Word and Wordpad). As for the Start Screen, why does taking over my monitor(s) with a giant tile interface make more sense than a small menu? The change of screen is annoying, and it is very resource intensive when running on minimal graphics/memory/CPU (like a netbook).

Fragmentation is never a good thing. Of course, you may be able to get the best of both worlds by storing those objects in a fixed-size array and creating another array whenever you wish to grow the vector beyond that size, but you still are missing the big advantage that all your objects are contiguous in memory and can be treated as a normal array.

What kind of work do you do where all your apps fit on one task bar? If you're a developer, you likely have several IDE's, compilers, etc, almost everyone has an office suite (3+ programs), a web browser, possibly an e-mail client, chat program, media player, games, and various other apps. Even on my 3-monitor system that would take up a lot of taskbar area. The start menu is not dead, far from it. If you need a lot of apps, you still need the start menu. The current start menu is small, doesn't hog resources, and does exactly what it needs to do. Why replace it?

> But I don't understand how you can go from there to "few dozen branches every day". As I explained when addressing a similar reply, I was referring to a very, very large codebase under one big CVCS repository like some that I've worked on in the past. Dozens of checkins per day, and if you do mandatory code reviews before checkin it means branching dozens of times per day. I think where this has happened before though, the source tree was really poorly structured and (as illustrated elsewhere) wouldn't be a problem if it was done right. So I'll retract that argument.

Yeah, I see absolutely no reason to replace my desktop with a gigantic oversized tablet. It doesn't make sense. Tablets you hold in your hand, looking downwards, and touching is easy. Desktops your monitor is ~2 feet away and big, sometimes more than one monitor (I have 3 21.5" 1080p's) and touching would just be annoying in that case.
