Nur weil wirklich niemand Silverlight braucht oder haben will, gibt M$ offenbar noch nicht auf, steht auf /.:

It looks like Microsoft is getting desperate about the dismal rates of Silverlight adoption by consumers and developers since its release earlier this year. According to NeoSmart Technologies, Microsoft is preparing a fully Silverlight-powered redesign of their website, doing away with most HTML pages entirely. With over 60 million unique users visiting Microsoft.com a month, Microsoft’s last-ditch effort might be what it takes to breathe some life back into Silverlight. The article notes: ‘At the moment, very few non-Microsoft-owned sites are using Silverlight at all; let alone for the entire UI.’

Ruby off Rails

ganz äh interessanter Artikel eines ehemaligen Ruby on Rails-Entwicklers. Ich steck nicht “drin”, aber die Szene scheint gerade ein paar Probleme zu haben…

This is that rant. It is part of my grand exit strategy from the Ruby and Rails community. I don’t want to be a “Ruby guy” anymore, and will probably start getting into more Python, Factor, and Lua in the coming months. I’ve got about three or four more projects in the works that will use all of those and not much Ruby planned.
