It would be great if we could run commands in the terminal during simulation. Just like in JavaScript where you can enter commands and get output. Why is there no such functionality in programming for iOS?
Only interpreted languages can execute code at runtime. Compiled languages cannot. Since swift is a compiled language it cannot execute code at runtime.

I know there are some changes in the plugins support in IE11 and Edge. What plugins are still supported in Edge and what are not?
Flash and PDF are still supported in Microsoft Edge as of today, whereas Java, ActiveX, Silverlight, Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) are not supported in Edge but still supported in IE11.

What is exact advantage it will give a framework like Vaadin over Groovy and grails ?
Do you code native Java on Vaadin ?
In Grails you write Groovy, produce traditional webpage like applications and use the command line tool to generate a lot of code. It is a full stack tool
With Vaadin you write Java, produce desktop like one-page ajax application and it is a UI framework.
Different tools for for different purposes and tastes.

I am making a webpage using angularJS. I need to include a datepicker. Can I use jQuery UI (include jQuery too) for this or Should I use angularUI ?
JQuery plugins and angular don't naturally work together very well. You can use them, but you would have to do some manual wrapping of the plugin. You're better off using angular-ui which will work out of the box.
For more info, check out the related answer "Thinking in AngularJS" if I have a jQuery background?

what is better with jquerymobile dust or json2html?
I'm working with a listview and my data is ported via ajax the application is on jquery mobile i need an easy template to represent the coming data in listview
well since I wrote json2html I would go with that one ;) .. though it really depends on what you're trying to do with the templates. The benefit with json2html is that you are using json for both the template AND the data instead of having the template as text/string also there isn't a need to compile the templates (which makes it easier to modify later). As a side note we've heard of json2html being used in a number of jquerymobile projects without any issues.
If you are using it let us know!
