Somebody said that Razor is slower because it's more complicated than asp.net's <% ...%> stuff but Razor seems to be more simple?

Razor seems like it would be harder to parse than regular ASP.NET, but that's a one-time cost when the page is compiled. After that I don't see any reason why it would perform any differently than regular ASP.NET.

We will continue to do both. There is not, nor has there ever been, an EitherOr monad, just a Both 

 

Sometimes, the studio is the best place to shoot demo-heavy pieces, lectures and conversational pieces. Sometimes, the office is the best place (like today's impromptu Archivist interview). Sometimes, Michael comes with us to offices to shoot high quality OldSchool (like the IE team interviews, Larry's NUI pieces, etc). Since you want more of this, and we asked you what you want, we will deliver.

 

Plurality is a good thing!

 

Keep on posting,

I would really like to know more about the compilation process of  managed code. Specifically how it relates to optimizations. Both for the language compiler (C#) but more importantly the jit compiler.

- How does it determine when to inline

- How does it determine when to unroll loops

- Does it insert mmx/sse code, and if so, when and how. How about newer extensions, AVX etc.? How about a SIMD extension to the language like in mono. Simple stuff, like when I do a div, does it use x87 code or mmx? how is it determined.

I always kinda thought it weird that the c# compiler itself apparently does very little optimization and the bulk of it is left to the jitter, which makes sense for platform specific optimizations, but even so, perhaps the c# compiler should simply provide more time consuming analysis of the source in form of the metadata to the jitter. What I'm getting at is that the c# compiler seems too damn fast to me. Make it Slower! Also jitter seems fast, but dont make that one slower, hehe. Engage

Other than that, more Kernel stuff. How about a statement from the recent W8 leak, lol, though I doubt MS would like to comment on that.

Oh, also, get Eric Lippert on camera. I'd love to see a lecture series with him.

watching the C9Live with Mark Russinovich reminded me that it would be great to see Mark give a tour of Windows architecture (as a C9 Lectures series?), not just in the context of "what's new in version X" but in general, like a video companion to his Windows Internals books. or if there's no time for that, a tour through the lens of a specific scenario (like the "what happens when you start Notepad?" brought up in the video) might be interesting.

When I was looking at the razor code in scottgu's post, suddenly I remembered Lucian Wischik once said in one of his presentation on language design, answering a question about why c# doesnt have xml literals, "I have told Anders at least once recently that if c# has implemented xml literals this wont be a problem", Lucian didnt mention what the 'this' is in his talk, but I guess it could be the razor parser ! hmmm.......

so its all about what the '<' symbol means right ?

.... but can you use xml literals in VBHTML ???

We need more with Scott Hanselman

This might be a strange request, but could we get a behind-the-scenes show about Channel9? Like what kind of things are done to keep the content flowing, how are favorite shows are put together, what kind of tools the admins have for combating spam, etc.

How is that for an idea? It would be an introspective show on introspectivism, tail recursion at its best. This is very exciting.

Who would ask the questions though? Would have to be someone not of Channel9. Which could be funny as heck.

We could tag team them. You from the inside, me from the weirdside.

I'd love to see Minh interview the C9 dev team.
