Acknowledging the cosmic bonk/oif balance

Alert! The May 11, 2009 issue of The New Yorker ran a poem that name-checks our man Guy L. Steele along with Eric S. Raymond--apparently in their role as lexicographers of the hacker argot: Hackers Can Sidejack Cookies. Worth groking if you have the time.

F# tip toes into the mainstream?

There's something about seeing "Microsoft Visual F#" listed alongside C# on a Visual Studio Team System 2010 beta screenshot that makes it seem almost real.

Maybe it's a fake screenshot.

I wonder if there'll be a Visual F# 2010 Express Edition? Wouldn't that be something!
