Love it. Exquisitely type safe. Just one thing: Weren't we supposed to get WAR deployment support in 2.1?

I'd be really impressed if they open sourced SecDB/Slang.

Crashes MobileSafari (iOS5, iPad2) every time.

Does this mean Visual Studio is going to run discovery queries in order to provide auto complete?

Whether it's labelled Silverlight, WPF or something else is secondary: Xaml and .NET is will be a first class development environment on Windows 8, as was shown today.

Sure it's just sample code, but I spilled my coffee when I saw this:

  function sleep(milliSeconds) {     var startTime = new Date().getTime();     while (new Date().getTime() < startTime + milliSeconds); }

Someone likes feeding the garbage collector.

Getting tail recursion right IS hard.

I wonder if gdgt.com will have something to announce soon.

Would the Android developer community have reacted the same way?

Who is this app meant for? Windows converts who haven't discovered Textmate, Sublime, or BBEdit?

Tsutaya is not going to be happy. Considering how their shops always have piles of writable DVDs next to the cashiers, they obviously thrive on ripping.

Isn't the difference here that Google sees Android, long term, as a web console rather that a (native) app console? The browser is the killer app.

Another possible issue, depending on your approach, can be how to integrate with external systems. I have seen teams trying to deploy a Haskell based common library to a heterogenous production environment and it wasn't pretty.

The core Haskell module itself solved a specific problem beautifully, but it all got very messy outside the confines of the pure and pretty functional world.

Barclays Capital uses Haskell to describe equity derivative instrument payoffs: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/3331
