Hello Oliver, I'll try to look deeper to the Typescript. I like the way Microsoft do their vscode and I believe we can do something similar. As soon as it will run on Chrome engine only we need no compatibility with other browsers. The most I like in vscode is it's flexibility, powerful UI and

Hi Vitalii, I agree with you that BOINC Manager needs replacement, because it has several problems; even 7.8.3 has problem in removing a project. As for TypeScript, it sounds good, though I have never heard of it before.   At least Windows, Mac and any Unix-like OSes can use it if Git and

.NET Core has no GUI development components so it could not be used. C# is basically Java with a few syntax changes. If you know C# you pretty much know Java too and vice versa. Java actually delivers on the cross-platform claim. I develop Java on Windows and deploy to Linux every day and have
