What register allocation algorithm did you used?


It may change now Microsoft and Mono are working in .NET platform together.


It seems great! thanks! By .NET in this context, do you mean you translate from CIL to TypeScript? does it mean it works with any .NET language? also, it's amazing it's written in C#.


Is not exactly this the universal(or something so) .NET platform new promise?


I don't think so. It failed with Silverlight, and was nasty with ASP.NET webforms. Microsoft now champions ASP.NET MVC on the server and TypeScript on the client. They also use TypeScript to write huge JavaScript apps for consumers.


Also, you made the D language. :)


You can see this guy on http://forum.dlang.org/ almost everyday talking about D's designer with the community.


What's wrong with that?


Thanks. Otherwise no D language could exists.


I think compare Facebook to Xerox PARC is same as compare Google to Bell Labs.


Nothing compares to Bell Labs. Google is an amazing software and networking company, however the majority of its contributions are in the field of Computer Science, specifically in distributed computing and networking.

Bell Labs made significant contributions to Physics (solid-state and optics), Chemistry, Electronics, Computer Science (operating systems, graphics, speech recognition, networking), Materials Science, Communications (here they pretty much invented an entire field of study) and the design of so many everyday things (they had an entire team that focused on just the design of your telephone wire) that is would be impossible to imagine what the world would be like if they didn't exist.

If Google didn't exist, search would still have been solved, maybe a decade or so later. If Claude Shannon didn't work at Bell Labs when he did, it could well be the case that we wouldn't have come up with such an elegant theory of Information even today, and therefore the world would look nothing as it does.


How long had Bell been around before the Labs came to be a force to reckon with? How about Xerox with PARC?

Facebook has been around very little time by those standards, and Google only slightly longer.

Time will tell if Facebook, Google and Microsoft can live up to their contemporaries.


Amazin. I'm going to share this with all my friends. Yes, I have.
