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.

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!)

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 Smiley [That's not to say that i don't envy you, it's a great tool!]

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

Bring on IE 10. Die Firefox and Chrome and Opera.

Sad

Google I/O circa 2009 (2 web-years before mix11): web-standards are good for all. Go HTML5. Open up the web. get as many people on the web. etc. (also tips on how to speed up the web)

Mix2011: See the above quote. Even though this is just the view of one fanboi, i think it sums the view of others beside him, mybe even of the presenter.

If so, what's your opinion on it. It seems to take quite the opposite approach to the kitchen sink. Minimalistic language with an explicit design goal of fast compilation. Here are some points:

  • It's compiled, no VM
  • Has GC
  • Not your usual standard class-based
  • Aiming for simple spec, and implementaion
  • No operator overloading, and currently no generics
  • Concurrency built-in
  •  Two of its creators are Rob Pike and Ken Thompson (f-n exclamation mark)

To me GWT is very high-tech, involving compiler optimization, and i heard a few MS-fans begging Microsoft to do something similar in dotnet.

oh, and diss everyone in the process. MSFT is getting so irrelevant. See Encarta vs Wikipedia, it's been replayed all over in every field.
