There is famous quote by Otto von Bismarck
"88 Professoren, Vaterland, du bist verloren"
(i.e. "88 professors: Fatherland, you are lost":) ).
I see that at Microsoft there are a lot of people from the university (I am also working at the university).
It looks like these people have big influence on the Microsoft's politics at this moment.
I would like to say that as a scientist I am VERY happy that "Roslin" is moving forward.
However, I understand that many professional developers are not so happy about that.
Being able to write very dynamic code is very important from scientific point of view (for example it is possible to creature DSL much easier and refractor code dynamically etc.). It is possible to write 1 000 000 scientific papers about that ... . Which is very good for me and future of the universe ...
However I am not exactly sure if this is a tool for professional developers.
well ... we will see what will happen to Microsoft which started to care about people at the university more than people in the enterprises.
As a person from the univeristy I would like to say that I like that new politics very much ...
