Didn't Microsoft deprecate XNA? So now Monogame is taking over?

When I think 'programming space' I think open-source - C, C++, Java, Mono, Javascript, Python, Ruby, R, Lisps, Rust, Dart, Go, Haskell, OCaml, etc...

Google doesn't immediately come to mind because they just use and give back to the OSS space, not caring too much to lock developers in.

Tell that people who started projects in GWT ;-) (which by itself is quite horribile as it's Java, but not quite Java and you can't use most of the libs out there because the class library is very crippled)
