[quote=rubberduckofdeath;1242726]C# is a good language, programming snobs..

Nah, it is crappy microsoft rubbish. Give me Java anyday. Yes I have coded in C# for about 18months. and Java for about 8. For functionality, portability and supportability, Java wins every time. OK for raw power I will use c every time. c++ is too cumbersome remembering to have destructor methods etc. so no wonder memory leaks happen. At least in old fashioned c you actually think about your memory constructs and utilisation

Then give me a operating system to run it on with decent functionality, true multi user multi tasking. in other word *nix. Or even good old fashioned operating systems like VMS or OS9. Microsoft has yet to work out what an OS is.

Yes I am a snob. Been cutting code since 1978 when I started off using APL, and gone through Basic,Fortran, Pascal, C, C++. Java and C#, plus 6502, 6808, 68000, VAX assembly languages.

And no I don't want job. I have made a career out of avoiding work, and justifying my salary for the occasional blinders I pull when others get the company in the poo
