Please don't name it Fuse. Yes, it's a good name, but there is already a rather well known project with that name, plus it's a common household item. You make it unnecessary hard to be found and not con-fuse-d (hah!) by users.

I speak from experience: I often have to look up errors/bugs related to root. Root as in "CERN analysis software", not the user. One of the most annoying names ever. (In that sense it's rather fitting)

Feels a lot like Titanium?

At a high level, yes: develop using JavaScript, end up with a true native app, on iOS and Android.

See also: NativeScript, Tabris.js, and React Native

Edit: If you'd prefer to develop apps using a different programming language, see http://www.mobilechameleon.com/

Agreed. I read the title and thought there was some cool new FUSE C# library.

Corona Labs ( A cross platform sdk ) merged with Fuse Powered in Nov 2014. Just to make this even more confusing.

Javascript, javascript, javascript... So, where's the C#?

> Uno, a light-weight, high speed dialect of C#.

Ah! Here it is. A light-weight dialect, you say. Similar to Unity3d's old Mono fork that hasn't been updated since .Net 2.5, and still crashes when you attempt to use some of language features (like named parameters)?

That's not the worst case, how about this:

No relation to making planets habitable whatsoever.

Yes, at least he could reverse the order of words in the subj. The link on the website leads to the API docs - there is no language description. I bet "high-speed" actually means "we removed things we think you don't need". Feels like a Unity3d-inspired afterthought.

It does not matter though, the world is moving away from JS. Better support the full C#.
