1. Comment - Ozzie: Silverlight Supports AJAX...To a Point

   (May 1, 2007 - 2:28 PM)

   The problem with AJAX is that it's more of a hack rather than a planned and well thought out technology. It's great for manipulating simple text and graphics on a web page without refreshing that page, but when it comes to actually designing complex software with modal dialog boxes, buttons, trees, listviews, custom controls, sound manipulation, 2D graphics, etc, it becomes extremely difficult to program correctly, because Javascript simply wasn't meant for that purpose. Now, languages like C++, C# and Java are much more advanced than Javascript and were designed for the single purpose of enabling the programmer to build complex software easily. Face it, the modern day web browser was never designed to be an interpreter for full featured applications.
