Scott's talks are so great.  They are both informative and incredibly entertaining.

 

Charles, you did a great job on this video.  I also really like the way it was filmed; it felt real ... as if you were in the room. Very cool.

Hahaha, "whiteboarding is fun... unlike waterboarding" lol Charles is awesome.

What is the status of Visual Studio integration with upcoming languages. I know F# is going to be fully supported, but what about in different scenarios, such as ASP.NET. And what about the upcoming dynamic languages (IronRuby and IronPython)?

Charles, you are awesome. Thank you IE team! CSS Compliance is all important! three cheers!

wow that is very impressive. i'm really stunned that it is that easy now. multiple threads optimized for core count, plus work stealing and all those awesome feautures essentially for free! too cool.

are there any plans to integrate this library into the actual language going into the future? that would be very cool.

maybe like:

parallel for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    // do something

that would feel very natural, and i don't think it would be that much of a leap. LINQ queries should be automatically implemented as parallel, just because of the nature of a query - there should be no expectation of sequentiality.

They said in first Sparkle (i.e. Robert's), that it was all managed c# code.  Did they toss all that and go with a c#/MFC mix?  tia

You're probably thinking about Sparkle aka Expression Interactive Designer aka (what is now) Expression Blend.

This is still part of the Expression suite, but its a completely different application.

I know, those names get confusing

btw.. this thing looks soooo hot. I want it NOW! [C]

Great stuff. I love the new Lambdas and Anonymous Types. When we get full intellisense and refactoring, .NET development is going to be amazingly fun and fast...

Has anyone here tried the bits out? I'm loving it. I wanna start using it in projects now! [C] lol..

It's amazing how simple it's become.

// from this (C# 1) ----------------------------------

button1.Click += new EventHandler(button1_Click);
// ...
void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   doSomething();
}

// to this (C# 2) ------------------------------------

button1.Click += delegate (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   doSomething();
}

// to this (C# 3) ------------------------------------

button1.Click += (sender, e) => doSomething();
// i think you can do that ^ ... lol

Awesome work Anders & team!

that's incredible. you can really see the power when he starts piping functions to each other. i also like how almost anything can be declared inline. its so free flowing. i love it. it reminds me of my calculus classes somehow..... hmm.. perhaps its the "let x =" lol

watching it now..

12:35 - hahaha I love Charles
