Building desktop Linux applications with JavaScript
,----[ Quote ]
| During his keynote presentation at OSCON last year, Ubuntu founder Mark
| Shuttleworth described application extensibility as an important enabler of
| innovation and user empowerment. Citing the Firefox web browser and its rich
| ecosystem of add-ons as an example, Shuttleworth suggested that the Linux
| community could deliver a lot of extra value by making scriptable automation
| and plugin capabilities available pervasively across the entire desktop
| stack.

Speed test: Google Chrome beats Firefox, IE, Safari
,----[ Quote ]
| Google offers a site with five JavaScript benchmarks. On each one of these
| tests, Chrome clearly trounced the competition. I hope benchmarking experts
| and developers will weigh in with comments about how well these tests
| represent true JavaScript performance on the Web--either for ordinary sites
| or for rich Web apps.

Study: Java still top programming language
,----[ Quote ]
| Java has its detractors, but according to a recent reading of the Tiobe
| Programming Community Index, it's still the dominant programming language,
| with little change in its overall popularity since August 2007. Runners up?
| C, (Visual) Basic, C++, and PHP.

Linux Development Thriving
,----[ Quote ]
| There was a time when developers were clamouring all over Microsoft, but
| latest figures from Evans Data shows that fewer than one in ten software
| developers are writing applications for Windows Vista this year – just eight
| percent. To rub salt in the wound, the data shows that 49 percent of
| developers are writing applications for Windows XP.
|
| Linux is also thriving it would seem. 13 percent are writing applications,
| with 15.5 percent in 2009.
|
| [...]
|
| Unfortunately for Microsoft, that probably means re-investing in XP and
| dumping Vista like an unwanted prom date.
