The idiot was reinventing the COM wheel. He was doing pointer arithmetic to get C++ member function pointers. Fucking idiot.

He was fired about a month later for not showing up to work. He'd entered a deep depression, probably because people didn't recognize his 'genius'.

if you're running a program that needs .NET, you're already running a shit OS

this, every piece of software running on electron uses like 10x more resources than required, was built using javascript, node.js & npm.

UI redesign. Almost always is where features are gutted, the thing starts to run more shittily, and annoying features trying to steal money from you are implemented.

What's bad about c#?

The PUPs are the only good thing. I mean, if you want to screw around with a VM.

Too many frameworks and abstractions even on simple things.

Has a GUI.

github is cancer.

What makes you feel that way?

>it's cancer because some retards use github
by that logic air is cancer because idiots breathe it

Safespace faggotry and other business practices for awhile now.

>Deleting webm4retards because it triggered them
