Haha, massive fail on my part, lol. I wasn't even thinking about it when I said that. I don't do any web coding and often think of html and js as the one thing.
D'oh!

Don't get me wrong. I don't like the idea of an OS that works like a giant mobile phone.
No, neither do I.

But it would be helpful for web devs to begin writing apps that can work cross-platform, or both locally and on a web server with bugger all code change.
Hmm, I think I'd rather just have web devs devving web pages, ta, and there are very few web pages I can think of which only function on say, Windows - and the incompatibility with another OS exists because "someone" is forcing people to install say, Silverlight over other better established means. That sort of activity doesn't really help much with cross-platform...

I'm wondering why c# doesn't get much of a mention here? I started programming years ago with Turbo Pascal, Delphi (Object Pascal), which is fairly easy to learn. C# feels similar to Delphi and java.
Delphi, you say? Mmm, loved it; an excellent piece of work. Looks like we trod the same path too
I'd moved onto other things when C# appeared but would probably have gone there too.

I just wish Google had ended up using c# for Android, with all the recent worry of .NET's future.
Heh. I just wish Google had done something like that,
period.
