RE Google gears, funny how our views on this differ so much. I consider Google's decision to drop gears as one of the wisest decision of a tech company in recent years. Had Microsoft done the same in circa 2000, when SVG became a w3c standard, and dropped VML, the web would have been better off. Same for its nonstandard event model.

Gears was a Google project, predating widespread HTML5 conformant browsers. It was a project design to push the web forward. And the web did go forward as we all know. Once HTML5 included most of what gears was, what was the point to continue with it? To create more misery for developers and the web?

Microsoft stood before decisions like that many times. And it always chose wrong. Microsoft and its so-called web-developers never dugg the web. That's why they created IE6-only monstrosities claiming to be web-sites.

As someone looking from the outside (OSS, standards buff), just one word: Awesome talk! OkOk two words.

MSFT is serious bout JavaScript!!!!

A note to the speaker: wouldn't you rather work on open-source stuff 

"I'm full admin on this ubuntu box", lol, it's called root.

Hi Gianugo Rabellino, thanks for the talk!

I have a question, though: what's your take on the whole Microsoft suing (or not, most cases are discreetly settled) Android manufacturers.  I have read that Microsoft sued based on a patent on parallel loading of background images in a browser (basically meaning that MS can sue any browser maker!)

Disclaimer: I'm just an open-source open-standrads fanbaby.

1) A really, really (to use the language of this conference) great presentation, the best IMO of build.

2) Wake me up when the blend tool will be web-based [That's not to say that i don't envy you, it's a great tool!]

A Question for you guys  I could not find the answer to anywhere. What about the Mac port of the 3D API? Is it in the schedule? 

@Clint: I meant: is 3d supported on the Mac. I think the answer is not right now, and I wanted more info about this, hence the question about directx

I have a question re Silverlight 3D, i hope maybe you could help. Is it relateded to DirectX? and more importantly, is it supported on the Mac?

Thx

It's funny to compare GWT's team size with Script#'s. Just shows who knows the web. 

No offense to nikhil, good job.

One of the premier language authors in the WORLD?

Ahm, no offense, but I disagree. Making a kitchen sink language, which will soon become self-aware? Soon parsing C# will be intractable
