Crashes MobileSafari (iOS5, iPad2) every time.
Does this mean Visual Studio is going to run discovery queries in order to provide auto complete?
Whether it's labelled Silverlight, WPF or something else is secondary: Xaml and .NET is will be a first class development environment on Windows 8, as was shown today.

function sleep(milliSeconds) { var startTime = new Date().getTime(); while (new Date().getTime() < startTime + milliSeconds); }
Someone likes feeding the garbage collector.
Getting tail recursion right IS hard.
I wonder if gdgt.com will have something to announce soon.
