(Go look at this "brief post":http://hackety.org/2007/05/09/soGooeyCanYouSeeTheButton.html on Hackety, really, go ahead, I'll wait.)

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Silverlight! Guaranteed to make code unintelligible and absolutely requiring an IDE to generate most of it for you!

Tcl/Tk has been around forever (at least in internet terms), and you can tell that it was designed for people that want to create things, not wallow in schemas and brackets.

I think Microsoft might have missed the boat on this one, no matter how whiz-bang-cool the technology is.</content>
