Upcoming Features in C#.md

Upcoming Features in C#

Mads Torgersen, MSFT

This document describes the C# language features currently featured in the March CTP. There's also discussion of a few of the VB features in the preview, where those are intended to be eventually implemented in C# as well.

Note that we have more language features planned that are not yet implemented. So look out for more to come in future CTPs and eventually a shipping version of C#.

	i  = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );               // what the fuck?

You appear to be advocating a new:

[ ] cloud-hosted [ ] locally installable [ ] web-based [ ] browser-based [ ] language-agnostic
[ ] language-specific IDE. Your IDE will not succeed. Here is why it will not succeed.

You appear to believe that:
[ ] Syntax highlighting is what makes programming difficult
[ ] Garbage collection is free
[ ] Computers have infinite memory
[ ] Nobody really needs:

Comcast and Netflix now have a direct adjacency

Looked at the host serving my Netflix streams today and noticed something new.

No clue if money is changing hands or not, and the return path is what actually matters, but it appears that Comcast and Netflix have reached some sort of agreement regarding direct interconnection.
