"C#'s principal designer and lead architect at Microsoft is Anders Hejlsberg. His previous experience in programming language and framework design (Visual J++, Borland Delphi, Turbo Pascal) can be readily seen in the syntax of the C# language, as well as throughout the Common Language Runtime (CLR) core. In interviews and technical papers he has stated ***flaws*** in most major programming languages, C++, Java, Delphi, Smalltalk, drove the fundamentals of the CLR, which, in turn, drove the design of the C# programming language itself." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp Beagle? <Especially--- remove worse than zmd, zen> Banshee? <remove> Micro$oft's .NET initiative is e v i l . (like most every other lockin they've invented) Since Micro$oft has not detailed the supposed patent infringements they claim to have against linux... do you suppose that some of those will have anything whatever to do with the .NET initiative... or the M$ development of C#? Ps. The language of *nix is C/C++. The connectivity of *nix is ip sockets. Pss. The lockin of M$ is IP. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
