  Okay, correct me if I'm wrong here:

   

  So if I want to write an app that uses HttpUtility.HtmlEncode or UrlEncode, the user needs to install the full framework, or I need to roll my own.

   

  A lot of users will be installing .NET twice per version. I can already hear tens of thousands of people screaming "but I thought I already installed .NET 4".

   

  I honestly fail to see how this is a good thing. More versions of .NET for embedded/mobile OSes would be nice, but more versions for Windows just seems silly.

• Andrew Nurse: Inside "Razor"

  Hey cool, I'm in SFU CS right now. Did a job interview with Microsoft a few years ago, but I wasn't really close to graduating at the time.

   

  Bet you like and hate the same profs I do

   

  Any chance of Razor ever working with F#? I'd imagine F#'s a big monster for something like this.

   

  Edit:

   

  By the way, F# could benefit from this thinking: "we're using the same parser at design time, and this is perfectly valid at design time; you don't want to lose track of your colorization..."

  Awesome, Singularity's public!
  
  Does anyone know where a list of commands is?

  And still no sign of C# wrappers... hmm...
  
  There are bits and pieces around various websites, but they all pertain to volume control, nothing on audio capture.

  Singularity is a kernel written in C#, not a shell. Although I can't see why they couldn't use the code from powershell once they have the code in the kernel nailed down and complete.

  
  
  I'd prefer that they don't; PowerShell's design philosophies go in direct opposition against Singularity's (and against .NET/Microsoft's in fact), namely in the fact that the PowerShell team carelessly encourages code to break down at runtime, and they don't honor very basic .NET standards such as Unicode for strings.
  
  Things like this and this are particularly bad.

  You might write a .PS1 script which takes advantage of a cmdlet/feature that is only available in V2. If you send this to someone that has PS V1, it will fail "in some way and at some time".

  Man, I'd so love to see my web server run on Singularity
  
  Out of curiosity, that HTTP server is Cassini, right? How much modification did it take to get it running?
