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)?

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#.

Which world is this? The world I live in seems to be full speed ahead with JS.

Feels a lot like Titanium?

Not really. A lot of the efforts of Fuse seem to go into making it easy to build smooth animation and stunning graphics using high level primitives instead of programming GPU directly

Yeah, that's pretty accurate, there's plenty difference between Fuse and hybrid app solutions / traditional cross-compilation stuff. The people behind Fuse come from GPU design and demoscene backgrounds too, which I would say is a good sign :)

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…

Exactly. While reading the title, I thought... what a good idea.

But what I had in mind, was to use FUSE (Filesystem in USEr space) to locally mount a webservice/API and then use C# native GUIs to do the presentation :)

Before they where called outracks.com and were making some kind of 3D studio. But apparently they have switched over to working full time on Fuse instead, which is kinda sad as Uno is pretty awesome. I'm guessing documentation is going to come up on their new webpage eventually, I remember them doing a private beta of Uno and the 3d studio thing. I'm wondering if they have given up on the 3d studio thing, or if they are just planning on rebranding it, since it seems they have given up the name outracks.

That was what I read first too.
