I am a C# .net programmer. Did Java and Python in the past as well. I absolutely loved R for what it could do and in fact it replaced a lot of my Excel/SQL use.

If you can think in terms of vectors, R is a breeze to learn and use. The main issue is that people try to label R as this or that (object-oriented, functional, scripting, 'like scheme', etc). Instead if you stop trying to label it and just learn the way it works, you can do some incredible stuff with it.

Good to see web development getting first class status - long overdue!

Wow incredible presentation. So much stuff packed into such little time.

Maintainability is going to be an issue with this I think, especially if you have a few inexperienced devs on the team. Keeping all that js clean without intellisense (in knockout, for example) is going to be a challenge.

Great talk! From the quick hack to the full-fledged solution, you really helped me understand what my options are for an app we need to mobilize soon. Thank you!

We need more people with this attitude, where we recognize different kinds of people and their motivations and work together instead of fighting over The Right Way.

Every once in a while a quiet, unassuming fellow comes along that really makes you think differently. This is one of them. Fantastic video guys!

This is very exciting stuff. The whole concept of cloud computing and dynamic resource management is going to take a giant leap forward with Roslyn and async. Kudos.
