Microsoft â Put up or shut up / Rudeness is the remit of Mono?
,----[ Quote ]
| Lets look at Mono first. Regular readers
| to this blog will hopefully have noticed
| that whenever Mono is mentioned we often
| get an aggressive response. Now with
| normal topics a response is usually based
| on a obvious love/passion for the subject
| at hand, yet with Mono the response is
| often rude, sometimes vulgar but more often
| than not (in my experience) combative.

The C# Programming Language - Popularity
,----[ Quote ]
| According to TIOBE's data, since August
| 2001 it took Microsoft 8 years to get their
| language to hit 6.258% usage (and it
| dropped significantly, they currently sit
| at 4.435%). Compare this with Java which
| has waned in popularity. Java is still at
| 18.051% usage and it's highest was 26.492%
| usage on June 2001.
|
| What does this tell you?
|
| 1) C is gaining popularity again despite
| lacking garbage collection and LINQ.
| 2) Java is still more popular than C#
| 3) At the rate Microsoft is going with C#,
| it should be at 12% in another 8 years
| (rough estimate).
