Well except in the case of Silverlight, developers did not have to
learn a new syntax nor wait for the tool-chain to catch up.

I agree, both aren't exactly success stories. Microsoft has the WP7

wonderful on Android, the current XML markup coupled with the weird R
file and associated manual casting is just not worthy of a modern
mobile stack anno 2010.
