Hi All, Following these .NET threads I couldn't help smiling. C#...?? Sorry, who needs another 'C/C++' like language. (I trust everyone realises the # is a ++ on ++, ie C# is C++++ (NOT!!!).
Umm. No. C# isnt C Like. Very much Java like, and I actually found it a little nicer to program than Java! Flame away!
Cant say I know Java but I could not help thinking C# was delphi with garbidge collection. They both where designed by the same guy. I would say it is a well designed language much like Delphi, unlike C++ which I feel is an OK language in design, (little things, where speed supplants ease of understanding when we have C for speed demons, a good example would be operator overloading only partially being implemented.). I should rather use C++ than Delphi or C# as M$ or Borland could always start behaving monopolisticly or go out of biz. Also VB is being turned into a OO language much like C# but with different keywords for the .NET release so we wont be able to snear at the unprofesional nature of thier language.
Keep smiling,
Owen
