I will be able to run 'real' C# in the client just as I would if I were developing a desktop application. Screw the complexity of AJAX or hideous Actionscript. Developers will get the .NET runtime. What some see a "bloatware" others see at priceless software libraries that eliminate 75% of the mundate tasks so that I can focus on solving the business problem rather that finding with friggin HTTP Response or RETARTED Javascript bugs that are impossible to debug.

And flex with as3 is waaay more sophisticated unless you add in the .net bloatware. Lol as a client side technology, this is sub-flash from years ago.

"Python, JavaScript (EcmaScript 3.0), Visual Basic and Ruby". I wonder how long until the PHP on .NET experiment revives again. As far as I know there is still talk among the developers about which engine to use Zend, Parrot or the .NET CLR/DLR. Both the last two kick the Zend engine in terms of performance easily from the benchmark tests I've seen so far. One thing I dont understand on the Silverlight front, is how does something work on Mac but not on Linux? Aren't the new Macs based on a FreeBSD core, so doesn't that make them compatible more or less out of the box?

Its existence for the last 9 years is the solid base for some more years of existance. Lets hope the best for Flash. Its existence for the last 9 years is the solid base
