Comment Feed for Channel 9 - How we do Language Design at Microsoft: VB and C# by Lucian Wischik http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/previewImages/100/542589_100x75.jpg Channel 9 - How we do Language Design at Microsoft: VB and C# by Lucian Wischik VB and C# together share about 50% of the “garbage-collected languages” market. I’ll talk about how we design these languages. Where do we get ideas? How do we incorporate new paradigms without breaking the existing languages? Where will we go in the future, and how will we get there? I’ll illustrate this talk with three main examples: how LINQ was introduced, how XML literals were introduced, and what we’re planning for concurrency. Lucian is the Spec Lead for Microsoft Visual Basic in Redmond, USA. Before that he was a post-doc at the University of Bologna, working with Cosimo Laneve on implementing the pi calculus. And before that he did his PhD on the same topic, supervised Philippa Gardner in the Computer Laboratory of the University of Cambridge.   This session is presented by Lucian Wischik during Microsoft DevDays 2010 in The Hague in The Netherlands. en Thu, 23 May 2013 06:52:44 GMT Thu, 23 May 2013 06:52:44 GMT Rev9 Re: How we do Language Design at Microsoft: VB and C# by Lucian Wischik still downloading it, but i think it's a very interesting topic, because its always a good experience to hear the true story of real life design and development process. and, linq and xml literals are cool stuff (from emeijer i think).

I think this should be on the front page.

 

ideas like xml literals for 'anything' is impressive, and the 'async/await' keywords are evolved since the PDC09 talks, and I never realized that 'async' is heavily related to 'Rx', another cool struff by emeijer, wow.

There isn't one! I just select+copy text from VS2010 and paste it into Word2010.
