When I switched over the C# compiler team, I had hoped that I would be able to give some insight into how the design team works, what decisions we make, etc. Language design is a very esoteric field, and there's not a lot written about it (though “Design and evolution of C++“ is a pretty good read). I had hoped that I would be able to do this with concrete examples, as that makes it much easier.

I've been watching for candidate topics to write about, but haven't yet come up with any good ones. One of the problems is that features have a tendency to morph in design (and in whether they'll make it into Whidbey) as time goes by, and it would be bad for me to say, “we're talking about doing“ and then have us decide it wasn't a good idea. Or, for us to decide that doesn't fit into our schedule, or it would break existing code, or any of the other reasons that might cause us to pull a feature. We're generally not comfortable re

Mindsight Apps logo color picker with workarounds for Webkit

This is a page I made for experimenting with different color schemes for a client logo I made. It provides a sample favicon in the upper-left-hand corner, by employing an SVG use element at 16x16.
