...and Microsoft already had WPF... Isn't everything else VERY primitive compared to it? Why would they go back to an inferior technology? Adoption issue?


Microsoft had JScript.NET even before C#, so this was purely a political move not a technical one.

At that time , investing on javascript would not have made Windows sell more.

Now Javascript is seen as a way for MS to get more apps on their RT plateform thus sell more Windows licenses.

However , i dont believe MS javascript move is a long term one.
