Informal Language Comparison Chart(s)

This is something rather intersting to have a link to. Follow the link to see comparison of several program languages in all sorts of ways. If you are a languages/runtimes connoisseur then this is a highly recommended link to try.

Defining the Game (Miguel De Icaza)

This is a link to blog entry by Miguel De Icaza – coauthor of MC, Mono, Gnome. It is nice, even refreshing to see open source in this form: nothing better than a good technical argument with both feet on the ground. And I do appreciate this man for giving credit to MS where credit is due and yet be willing to stand his ground and compete at the risk of loosing.
