Yeah, I was limiting it to the level of the microprocessor. No interest in actually building or coding inside there nowadays.

I object strongly to a language who's surrounded by frameworks that are hell bent on abstracting developers from the said language as much as possible because the said language is so far behind the evolution curve. Had JS moved to ECMA4 - ECMA6 ..sure.. i'll play along but this JS ciricle jerk that's going on because everyone's given the "defeatist" attitude... bleh...

O.o... did you just say JavaScript is better than WPF? ..... I said 'someone's 10kb of JS is better. JavaScript is just Internet assembly language. It's the frameworks that matter. I used to hate JS with a passion, but the momentum around it is undeniable and the things people accomplish with frameworks on top of it are staggering.
