>Too many discussions here and too few voices from North America. ( not proportional to developers number).
>What are they scared? MS decision is not critical for their lifes? Yes, it is not. If just SQL server and Window will crush, we shall all prolong to live and will find the way to find meal. This is not clue. Why language, which gave us job ( and fun and challenge and friendship on sites at DevCons) for long time is not enough supported? Where are your votes?


Speaking only for myself, it's just a different point of view, Vladimir. I think the decision has been made by Microsoft and the best thing I can do, in pure self interest, is figure out what to do next. That's life. Please understand that I do not criticize those who have signed the petition.

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it
