Is there any future?

Well,
I'm do not totally agree with this way of seeing and consider things. I personally think that what is going to be will be lead (as always) by market rules, by what is going to make companies more money, and customers more satisfied (sometimes )

It's really annoying to go on reading in forums about holy wars between this language and that language, this platform and that platform: It's simply not the point of interest.

During these years I've been facing different languages and platform as many of the people joining this great forum: some for job needs and others just for curiosity and passion. It's not a matter of "this is crap" and "that is gold", I think it is not acceptable.

Saying Java, PHP or Python are used for small projects is greatly false. I followed many big projects involving java. And you could not tell they were 'small', same for PHP or Python; as well as the attitude of excluding the power of any platform and/or software solution.

Unfortunately in these years we saw the rise and fall of many technologies, but this is the proove that market and consumers needs is what rule the world of technologies.

I personally love and worked with [win]asm, java, C, C++, yeah even .NET (why not?) ... and it is all different ways of making and thinking of things.

Saying ".NET is completely useless" for it is not portable, is a sad way of consider things: even win32asm is not portable... So what?, here everyone is happy with it, right ?
.NET is based on CIL that is a public specification submitted to ECMA; the CLR is the Microsoft implementation of that specification, if you want you can provide you own implementation.

Maybe it's the time of making a little step forward from the same old holy war discussion. And from dividing things between "crap" and "gold".
