I wish it was a very elaborate prank by the real _why but I'm not holding my breath.

See their new technical FAQ: http://www.remobjects.com/elements/hydrogene/faq/cocoa.aspx Basically, there's no .NET runtime, at all.…

It's not about a language feature, is it?
comment
You mean like they screwed C#? Or Harmony?

Scrolling in WebKit is native, scrolling in Emacs isn't.
comment
I don't mean to sound hipster or anything but I prefer software with native look-n-feel on the platform I'm using. I tried Emacs on OS X (proglang on Coursera asks students to use it for edi…

It's not really built on React, on a second look. It looks like they tried it or may try in the future: https://github.com/atom/react-coffee But this is what they use for vi…

Have you used LightTable? It's quite fast as the editor. I'm sure Atom is similarly fast. It doesn't run in the browser; it just uses WebKit as the engine.

Where I live, a lot of people use Telegram. It has less cluttered interface and is also much faster than WhatsApp on unreliable connections.

Did this happen to Instagram?

Well, client-side Microsoft has abandoned both (although of course they still run).

To those who insist this somehow encourages copy-paste style of programming, think again. What would this so-called programmer do if they didn't have this extension? They'd put this question…

How do you update React views when BB models change? Most approaches I've seen use `forceUpdate` although it is arguably more React-ish to [pass along pure JSON][1]. We're currently sticking…

This clarifies things. I'm not familiar with Angular so thanks for sharing the perspective.

We're using Backbone+React so this may not be applicable. However... “You can separate your dev and production build pipelines to improve dev speed, but that’s going to bite you later on.” In m…
comment
We're replacing one Backbone view at a time as soon as they need to get more dynamic. So far I'm impressed.

As stated in nearby comments, it's an in-joke. There's no "goal".
comment
Sometimes I wonder if future historians will think we literally believed the religious imagery we used in technological flamewars.
comment
Still does.

Did you read my comment? My problem wasn't that I asked for entertainment. I asked for education, which I didn't get. I was very motivated when I got into the university. I was hoping we…

I got it wrong both times. Ouch.

Dropped out because it was oh so boring. I wish it was like Coursera classes, but we didn't get to start actual programming until maybe third year, and I didn't have the patience so I droppe…

What about generators and stuff like Koa[1]? Do you dismiss them too? You don't have to use events all the time, and it's trivial to wrap most Node IO as promises, thunks or whatever it is t…
