    I don't think creating a new language just to compile the source to Javascript is a good move, especially when Javascript is being under heavily supervised & supported by a huge we…

    I think a user content generated community where huge number of people participate needs an explicit feedback system. We all want to learn from the good sources and filter out what…

    I'm using 4.0 "full-time" and it's the nightly build :). The only thing you need is Compatibility Reporter extension. It's here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1500…

    I'm also using Minefield 4.0b8pre as my primary browser and always look for new "nightly" update with hoping it solves the annoying bug: location bar doesn't synchronize with the d…

    It can be explained by the fact that Opera isn't the main rivals of Firefox in the browser market. Edit: http://arewefastyet.com/faq.html The team's explanation: Right now, the per…

    Nice, but I prefer C# there as well where you use the var keyword, like this: var tickets = new ArrayList >(); Actually, JDK7 is better in this case because it helps developer to "…

    Yes, if something is great since day one, it probably stays away from the improving motivation. If you are willing to pay a price for what is being offered, you will get more pleas…
