Reply to Andrei,
I've repeatedly failed to figure out the coolness of C#, and would
appreciate a few pointers. Or references. Or delegates :o).
The coolness of c# is that (in order, IMHO) 1) the tools are world
class, 2) the support is back by MS, 3) the docs are great, and 4) the
language is highly consistent and conservative, e.i. nothing is added
until they've got it right.
Aside from #4, the *language* isn't anything to write home about.
I'd say C#2 is Java with the top 10 or so feature requests implemented,
and another 5 or so major feature requests implemented each major
version. That isn't a bad state to be in, really. It's good enough, with
a billion dollars in corporate backing, to make you the Current Big
Language.
