XNA is the single mightiest framework known to man for game development.
Prove me wrong.

Microsoft is killing XNA. New games have to be developed using Metro GUI.

Mightiest?

That must be why Microsoft has deprecated XNA and made .NET a second class citizen in Windows 8. They've replaced .NET with WinRT, a native COM based ABI and API, and Metro is built on top of it. C++ is again the champion language, and DirectX 11.1 is making its release.

There are no managed extensions for DX 11.x in sight, and .NET was scaled back for WinRT interop.

You might think I'm joking or trolling, but I'm not. It's over, C#/VB and .NET are finished.

XNA is for fag that can't handle C++ and pointers.

XNA is for fags who like getting shit done.

C++ is for fags who can't handle lexical closures and the idea that data and code aren't actually different.

I thought WinRT was replacing win32 and .NET would still run on top.

Fuck you lithper. But yeah, no proper macros in any other language than Lisp -> sad state of affairs.

XNA is for people that don't understand how computers work, don't have a clue on how memory is accessed, never heard of caches, don't know what game-programming stand for, don't know enough math, never developed real games never heard of other programming models besides oop and in general convincing them of anything else is a waste of time.
I played with XNA and for a platform made in a coffee-table language it is decent, but it is just a toy.

Not precisely. It's for people who don't care. ie, non-autists.

C# is capable of many techniques from functional programming. I don't understand people who write C# and don't use lots of lambdas. It has like the prettiest lambda syntax ever.

If my rather charismatic Bard rolls 1d20+8 for a gather information check, it takes 1d4+1 HOURS to complete. So does that mean I can't do anything else for christ knows how many turns?! Surely by that time the party would have moved on!
